In her texts, Eva Demski repeatedly addresses topics of contemporary history and the present. She delivers - in a consistently considered literary and artistic style - analytically precise diagnoses of our living conditions and our often little-considered ways of thinking and feeling. The confident irony with which Eva Demski often exposes the perversities she targets is particularly appealing. The fact that she tries out different and new narrative styles at the same time as taking a palpable delight in storytelling can be experienced by the reader as a very special quality of her works.
