Abstract

The article discusses the political message in the novel version of "Corpus Delicti," by Juli Zeh. The author agrees with some reviews that Zeh's narrative concept is more convincing as a novel with a strong tradition of utopias and science fiction, rather than as a stage representation. He thinks that Zeh has incorporated elements of science fiction and convincingly develops her political point in the scenario of a criminal trial.
