Alle sind so ernst geworden

Fast, clever, and incredibly funny, like a dinner with Thomas Bernhard, Ricky Gervais, and the Rolling Stones. Read this book; it will save your day. I wish I had been there. Whenever I feel troubled or perplexed in the future, I will read chapters of this book to laugh out loud and join in on those sparkling and eloquent conversations. Read this book; it will relax you. What exactly are Martin Suter and Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre doing? They are saving our present for the future by looking at it with such tenderness, sharpness, and curiosity as if it were already the past. A captivating archaeology of the now. The part about the swimming trunks is delightful. I simply enjoy listening to the two of them. When they talk, I can hardly wait to see what they will come up with next. They just have a knack for it. I have thoroughly checked all the statements in the book and can now say with certainty: it’s all true.
