Kleinhirn an alle

The SPIEGEL bestseller now available as a paperback. Generations of fans have been eagerly waiting for this: Otto shares stories from the first 70 years of his life – a fairy-tale rise from a child of the dike to the nation's solo entertainer. His sketches and characters have enriched our collective memory and our sense of humor: Harry Hirsch, Robin Hood, Susi Sorglos, Louis Flambée, Peter, Paul and Mary, and the "Schniedelwutz." But: Who were Otto's role models? Where does he come from? What drives him? How does his unique style of comedy come to life? And for what purpose? Is there a secret? Now, Otto willingly recounts the highs and lows, the happiest and most glorious moments, without skipping the most embarrassing and saddest ones. Not to mention some previously unpublished photos and self-painted pictures.
