Richtige Literatur, sehr schoen! Und wie wir wissen, sind die Deutungs- und Auslegungsoptionen bei Kafka schier endlos! Der Schlusssatz ist aber das Genialste! Das muss ihm ein Autor erst mal nachmachen, den so praezise noch hinzuknallen.

Ein sehr witziges Buch und eigentlich muesste man es gleich nochmal lesen, weil erst am Schluss klar wird, was die Autorin von Beginn an alles versteckt hat. Ein leichtes Zwischendurch-Buch, kanns empfehlen, aber nicht zu viel erwarten!

Hermann Hesse
“In dieser Traumwelt lebte er mehr als in der wirklichen Welt: Schulsaal, Klosterhof,… war nur Oberfläche, nur eine dünne Haut über der traumgefüllten, ünerwirklichen Bilderwelt. Ein nichts war genug, um in diese dünne Haut ein Loch zu stossen, und hinter der friedlichen dürren Wirklichkeit die tosenden Abgründe, Ströme und Milchstrassen jener Seelenbilderwelt zu entfachen.”
Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
“Ja, ohne Zweifel würde auch dieser Schmerz, auch diese bittere Not alt und müde werden, auch sie würde er vergessen. Nichts hatte Bestand, auch nicht das Leid.”
Hermann Hesse

Audrey Niffenegger
“I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness, dead people need us to rememer them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say “I am sorry”, until its as meaningless as air.”
