Auf der Shortlist für den Internationalen Literturpreis 2017 Platz 1 der Litprom-Bestenliste WELTEMPFÄNGER Nominiert für den LiBeraturpreis 2017 Zeitgemäß, sexy, einfallsreich, atemberaubend: das hochgelobte und preisgekrönte Debüt von Amanda Lee Koe. So kosmopolitisch wie die junge Autorin ist auch ihre Prosa. Die unverwechselbaren Figuren wurzeln deutlich im singapurischen Alltag, ihre Themen und Motive sind jedoch universell. Es geht um Leidenschaften, Abhängigkeiten, Identität und (verlorene) Liebe. Koe erzählt Geschichten um Außenseiter, Querköpfe, Individuen, die sich durch eine in Schieflage geratene Welt bewegen müssen. Ein ungleiches Pärchen fasst den Entschluss, bei ihren Rendezvous alle Parks der Insel abzuklappern; ein Mann trifft in einer Bar einen Transsexuellen, den er als Junge gedemütigt hatte, und lässt sich von ihm abschleppen; eine Kellnerin bedient einen alternden Serienstar, in den sie als kleines Mädchen verliebt war, am nächsten Morgen wird er tot in seinem Bett aufgefunden. Amanda Lee Koe ist eine Autorin, die etwas wagt. Die Geschichten sind welthaltig und poetisch, philosophisch und durchdacht und entwickeln eine Leichtigkeit und einen Sog, der das Buch, wie ein Kritiker sagte, 'unweglegbar' macht. Es sind Geschichten wie ein Schlag. Nicht wie ein brutaler Schlag ins Gesicht, sondern wie ein Herztreffer, ein Blattschuss, ein wilder Hieb, der den Zentralmuskel des Gefühls für einen kurzen Moment aus dem Takt bringt und wilde, aufregende Wahrheiten offenbart. - Für Leser von Miranda July und Haruki Murakami - Gewinnerin des Singapore Literature Prize for English Fiction 2014 - Gewählt zu einem der 10 besten englischen Bücher Singapurs der letzten 50 Jahre - Eine elektrisierende neue Stimme der Weltliteratur - Lesereise durch Deutschland zur Frankfurter Buchmesse 2016 - Übersetzt von Zoë Beck Die Pressestimmen (Auswahl): 'Der Shootingstar der Literaturszene.' BR2 'Zärtlich und cool zugleich ... eine literarische Rebellion.' Cornelia Zetzsche, NDR2 Kultur 'Rotzfrech, fantastisch und poetisch... Eine Leseerfahrung, die lange nachhallt: Intellektuell, sinnlich, ästhetisch.' Pascal Fischer, SWR 2 'Buch der Woche'. 'Amanda Lee findet Worte und Bilder, um von den Menschen so zu erzählen, dass man auf jeden Fall getroffen wird ¿ und zwar mitten ins Herz. Kitschverdacht allerdings ausgeschlossen, dafür jede Menge weltoffene geschichtsbewusste Lebensklugheit, modernster Feminismus inbegriffen. Cool!' Anita Djafari 'Geschichten, zart und direkt, melancholisch, voll emotionaler Tiefe und schräger Typen.' radioTexte, BR2 'Fantastisches Debüt der Erzählerin aus Singapur. In ihren Storys über Abhängigkeit, Liebe, Sehnsucht und Freiheit stecken gleich mehrere Romane.' Ulrich Gutmair, taz 'Amanda Lee Koe hat mit ihrem ersten Buch in deutscher Übersetzung für Furore gesorgt. Ministerium für öffentliche Erregung versammelt Erzählungen, die an die Nieren gehen - teils drastisch und immer erstaunlich.' Buchkultur 'Diese Kurzgeschichten haben mich schwer beeindruckt, denn sie haben Kraft, sie sind sehr hart, reden nicht um den heißen Brei herum, zeichnen nichts weich. Sie legen den Finger direkt in die Wunde.' Jörg Petzold, Flux FM 'Ohne Kitsch oder Pathos gelingt es Amanda Lee Koe, mit jeder Geschichte eine neue Welt zu erschaffen, die so scharf und detailliert gezeichnet ist, dass ihre Figuren eine Glaubhaftigkeit besitzen, als sähen wir sie direkt vor uns.' Aviva-Berlin.de 'Was die Geschichten Koes so spannend und oft unheimlich macht - dass man nie genau weiß, was die Charaktere als nächstes tun werden, und dass man ständig das Gefühl hat, den Atem anhalten zu müssen.' Miriam Mairgünther 'Obwohl kaum eine der Kurzgeschichten mehr als 20 Seiten in Anspruch nimmt, gelingt es Amanda Lee Koe in wenigen Worten Charaktere entstehen zu lassen, an deren Rück- und Schicksalsschlägen man Anteil nimmt.' SPEX 'Ein Buch, in dem man sich verliert und gebannt jeder Geschichte folgt ... auch wenn die Erzählung verklungen ist, wird diese im Leser nachklingen.' Hauke Harder, Leseschatz 'Unglaublich lesenswert, dieses Buch.' Tania Folaji, Elektro vs. Print 'Die kaleidoskophafte Bandbreite der Themen und die Lebendigkeit der Figuren offenbaren ein tiefes emotionales und psychologisches Verständnis. Die Autorin präsentiert sich als herausragend kompetente, lyrische Erzählerin.' Quarterly Literary Review Singapore 'Diese umwerfende Kurzgeschichtensammlung ist formal ebenso bahnbrechend, wie zutiefst menschlich, mitfühlend und erkenntnisreich.' Huzir Sulaiman, Theaterautor

A Truly Ergonomic Mouse
Number of Items: 1
Other not completely flat mice claim to be "ergonomic", but the only way to completely remove stress from your forearm when using a mouse is with a "vertical" mouse. My 2020 K75575WW Kensington ergonomic vertical mouse developed a problem with the left button "stuttering" so that it sent multiple button clicks when pressed just once. I liked the Kensington quite a bit. But it always just a little bit on the "not quite as solid as I would like" side, and failing after just 2.5 years confirmed this. So I wanted a more solidly build mouse. A search for "ergonomic mouse review" showed that the Logitech MX Master 3S was clearly the best ergonomic mouse available. At $100 it was several times more expensive as others including the latest Kensington vertical mouse. But sometimes furgal doesn't mean the least expensive. Sometimes it can mean the most expensive if that comes with better performance, features and lifespan. So I ordered it. And while it is indeed an incredible mouse, the angle is only about 20 degrees. The result is that while there is some reduction in forearm stress compared to a flat mouse, it wasn't enough for me. By the end of my very long days driving my mouse almost as much as I drive my keyboard, I could feel the tension building up in my forearm. So after a week I returned it and bought this Logitech MX Vertical. It is slightly less expensive than the MX Master 3S, but still much more expensive relative to other options. And while it is lighter and a little less substantial feeling in my hand than the MX Master 3S, it still feels very firm and solid. Most importantly keeps my hand in the neutral position with my fingers at about 70 degrees. A great feature of the MX Vertical shares with the MX Master 3S is the thumb rest. The Kensington didn't have this and so my thumb rested on the desktop. If it was a bit warm and my hands would sweat my thumb wouldn't slide smoothly and I would have to lift my thumb off the desk when I went to move the mouse. Not a horrible thing, but if you spend 8+ hours mousing around it gets tiresome. The button clicks are crisp. Best of all when the button bottoms out it feels like it is pressing against the case. It doesn't feel like travel is being limited by the switch itself bottoming out like the Kensington felt like it did. My hope is that this will keep the switch from wearing out so fast as happened with the Kensington. One slight negative of the MX Vertical is that I don't feel like I am quite as accurate in being able to move the cursor to a specific spot on the screen without some amount of conscious effort. Instead it doesn't go exactly in the direction I intended and overshoots where wanted it to stop. As such it might not make the best mouse for video games. [UPDATE: There is a bit of a learning curve in moving the mouse accurately. In the last couple weeks my need to make a more conscious effort to move the mouse to a specific spot on the screen is going down. Still think it is likely to not be as accurate as a flater mouse]

Ergonomic, Comfortable, and Highly Functional Mouse
Number of Items: 1
The Logitech MX Vertical Wireless Mouse is an outstanding ergonomic mouse that truly reduces wrist and forearm strain. Its vertical design feels natural and comfortable, even during long hours of use, making it a great choice for anyone concerned about repetitive strain or discomfort. The mouse connects seamlessly via Bluetooth or the included USB receiver, and the ability to switch between three different devices is incredibly convenient for multitasking. The precision and smooth tracking make it excellent for both work and creative tasks. Overall, this mouse combines comfort, functionality, and versatility in one sleek package. It’s well worth the investment for anyone looking to improve ergonomics and productivity.

Great mouse
Number of Items: 1
Definitely reduces fatigue. Easy to use. Great response with less space needed for mouse movement. Stays charged for months you actually forget to charge it, ask me how I know :). I play video games with it and never have any issues with the movement and response time of mouse. And since my car wreck where I broke my thumb this is the only mouse that gave me the same as before the wreck abilities to move and operate the mouse. Highly recommend. One very broken thumbs up :)

Experience after one year of usage
Number of Items: 1
I had mainly used a MX Master 2S before this and because of my heavy usage I did start to feel uncomfortable after a few hours of use every day and that's when I decided to purchase MX Vertical. Now after almost 9 months of usage this has become the mouse I use on a daily basis, completely replacing MX Master 2S. Comfort: It took me about a day or two to really get used to using it because of the positioning and ever since then my wrist has never felt any discomfort, literally. I don't have a mouse pad but because of the angle that my wrist is contact with the desk when I use it, this has never been a problem. What I also love about the ergonomic design is that my hand can actually just rest on it when not doing specific tasks, and it just fits my palm perfectly. Functionality: I don't use it for gaming so I can't comment on that. However, comparing it with my Master 2S, there are some very obvious disadvantages. If you use Excel sheets a lot, or anything that requires horizontal viewing, the scrolling option is terrible. You can set up the function key on Logi Options+ and I use the side buttons for scroll right+left mainly because how easy it was to use with the Master 2S's side scrolling buttons. It is not comparable at all. With Master 2s, horizontal scrolling is smooth and precise. With this, it's basically useless. There are sites that just aren't responsive to the side buttons and when they do, you can never get to the precise point you want. Huge disappointment with that because I don't really use the side buttons for anything else. There is also no scrolling control with the middle button unlike the Master 2S, so you can't really scroll vertically as fast as you can when using Master 2S either. However I do use the middle button sometimes to just do the job for me so I'm ok with its basic functionality. The top button is mainly used as a look-up button for me, so far its working pretty well and honestly it probably makes not much difference if they just completely take this button out for me. Maybe some people can find use in it as a switch for scrolling or mouse speed, or something else. Overall, the customizability of these buttons is very good, and depending on personal use, I can see it being very useful. Battery life: Battery life is fantastic, never had any problem with it yet. I haven't really kept track but with my heavy daily usage (probably 10+ hours with no intense gaming), it can usually go for more than a month. You can also use it while it's being charged. Durability: I have unfortunately knocked it over the desk a couple times on hard vinyl floor and there seems to be no problem with it at all. Before purchasing this I saw some comments about how it stopped functioning after being dropped to the floor and I was really worried about it. However that is not my case at all. It is very durable in my opinion and does its job perfectly even after dropping it a few times. Overall, extremely comfortable to use. It helped with my wrist pain tremendously and now I use it for hours without feeling any discomfort. The functionality is severely disadvantageous compared to Master 2s and 3s, and possibly other gaming mouses as well, but if you are here because of wrist pain, this is the right product.
