Hoffentlich wird es nicht so schlimm, wie es schon ist

Karl Valentin, a gifted comedian and unconventional thinker, was a master of the grotesque and absurd wordplay. The original from Munich is often placed on par with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy, as well as with Samuel Beckett and other masters of the grotesque. This book contains a selection of the best monologues, scenes, plays, dialogues, curious advertisements, fictional announcements, and letters by Karl Valentin: quirky, nonsensical, profound, brilliantly funny, and thought-provoking. Many of his sayings and wisdom have become standards of timeless humor and remain astonishingly relevant. An ideal read for all lovers of absurd wordplay and offbeat humor.
