`The Big Life` by Marianne Winkelman - a German-language book that captures the relationships between two men and women who encounter each other without knowing their sexual preferences.
It describes the adventure of a young biologist and a career-conscious but cold-hearted lawyer travelling together to a conference in Germany. At first, they are separated, but they have a fleeting acquaintance and know enough about each other's opposing professional views. In addition, the two characters have radically different sexual orientations. Although they don't know each other's preferences, they can't help but admire each other. Due to external circumstances, they eventually find themselves in close proximity, which they find unpleasant. However, their story draws on the intimate details of their mutual experiences and memories. It becomes clear that they can deal with lust with great passion and abandon, leading to exciting, stimulating sparks and tension.
