“Bei der Lektüre von Sarahs Randnotizen (Krähenfüße, schwarze Marginalia, die ich mehr entziffern als lesen musste)konnte ich eine der fundamentalen Fragen erahnen, oder glaubte, sie zu erahnen, die nicht nur Sarahs Werk zugrunde lagen, sondern die auch die Texte von Annemarie Schwarzenbach so fesselnd machten – der Orient als Resilienz, als Suche nach Heilung von einer geheimnisvollen Krankheit, einer tiefliegenden Angst. Eine psychologische Suche. Eine mystische Suche ohne Gott, ohne andere Transzendenz als die innersten Bereiche des Selbst, eine Fahndung, die im Fall von Schwarzenbach mit einem traurigen Scheitern endete.”
