«Wie wir begehren» is Carolin Emcke's personal and philosophical essay, published by Fischer Taschenbuch in paperback, in German.
Drawing on her own biography, Carolin Emcke reflects on desire and the norms that condition it. She recounts a homosexual awakening in 1980s Germany, when sexuality was barely spoken of, and explores the different forms of desire, the tension between the intimate and the political, and the suffering of those who cannot name it.
The book originally appeared in 2012; this paperback edition is from May 2013. The work was nominated for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in the essay category.
For readers of essays and memoirs on desire, identity and sexual diversity, with an autobiographical and political perspective.
