Der Gipfeldieb

Ludwik Wiewurka is the melancholic figure among the Vienna heating meter readers. He visits the apartments of the city and casually explores the emotional state of his female clients. However, his true interest lately has been in his nationality, as Ludwik is a native Pole who is finally supposed to become an Austrian. But this status does not come without a cost. Radek Knapp presents us with his "Gipfeldieb," a highly contemporary book about feeling foreign in one's homeland, as well as a clever, highly original picaresque novel.
