Memoiren eines alten Arschlochs

With a sharp pen and audacious delight in exaggeration, Roland Topor mocks memoirs and the inflationary name-dropping within them. In this fictional autobiography, the old bastard encounters nearly every celebrity of his time—from Edith Piaf and John Cage to Salvador Dalí and Albert Einstein, and even Al Capone and Albert Camus. This megalomaniacal self-portrait brings tears of laughter and insight to the reader's eyes.
