The first novel by Hengameh Yaghoobifarah, taz columnist and activist tells an anti-fascist, or rather an anti-racist, heroic story, and she too agitates for her own cause. The political opponent is above all an occasion to present himself. “Ministry of Dreams” is the name of the novel in which (night) dreams and reality are intertwined, for which reality also offers sufficient reason. At the beginning, Nasrin Behzadi receives news of her sister's accidental death. Since she cannot believe in a misfortune, and this is where her paranoia shows up perhaps for the first time, she goes on a search for clues, also in the common past, in the youth of the two in Lübeck after their flight from Iran, which was marked of experiences with racism and neo-Nazis, to which they responded by founding an anti-fascist group.

You are angry and paranoid. Their lives are promiscuous and precarious. And they are very convinced of themselves: The novel by Hengameh Yaghoobifarah provides insights into the anti-racist scene. Village Nazis also perform here, by the name of Ronny, of course.
