Zelter:Staffellauf

How did we become who we are? Or how did we not become who we are - or who we wanted to be? Joachim Zelter's autofictional novel describes life paths, detours, and emergency exits. He tells of becoming and of having become, of mothers, fathers, and children, of marriage proposals, flights of fancy, defeats, flings, life lies, and life leaps. He remembers, invents, and reorganizes. He tells stories like never before. He writes as if about his life. An attempt at a life story - or a relay race. A truly existential novel.
