Summary: From book cover: Josefa Nadler ist Journalistin. Als ihre Reportage über das Kraftwerk B. nicht erscheinen darf, verläßt sie den Freund, den Kollegenkreis und die große Gemeinschaft der Organisierten. Die realistische Darstellung der Berufswelt und der Wünsche und Ängste einer Frau, die selbst denken und eigene Gefühle entwickeln möchte, macht den Roman »Flugsche« zu einem erstaunlichen literarischen Zeugnis unserer Gegenwart. From britannica.com: In Flugasche (Flight of Ashes), written in East Germany during the 1970s but not published until 1981 and then in West Germany, Monika Maron depicted the tension between inner and outer reality in the attempt of a young woman journalist to present unpleasant truths about the lives of workers in the industrial town of Bitterfeld. While she does succeed in writing an article that causes the power plant to be shut down, she herself is under threat of expulsion from the Communist Party at the conclusion of the novel.
