Thomas Stangl seduces us beyond the boundaries of reality into unexpected fictional realities and writes as playfully and fabulously as never before.
It is always beneficial to reflect on literature in basic and unusual contexts instead of categorizing it in terms of writing and reading – and Thomas Stangl is a master of this art.
A hypnotic meditation on our present time and the role art plays in it, and in our life. It is a novel full of magic moments – and also Stangl’s most political book so far.
