Briefe in die chinesische Vergangenheit #2
Die große Umwendung. Neue Briefe in die chinesische Vergangenheit.
Kao-tai, der Mandarin aus dem 10. Jahrhundert, mußte wieder mit seiner Zeitmaschine fliehen und landet diesmal in Köln ("Kö-leng"), und das mitten im Karneval! Von zahllosen Abenteuern gebeutelt und in der Hoffnung, irgendwann in die Heimat zurückkehren zu können, schreibt er abermals an Dji-gu. Die Welt, in der er sich nun wiederfindet, hat sich seit der "Großen Umwendung" 1989 dramatisch verändert. Auf der Suche nach seinen alten Freunden verschlägt es Kao-tai nicht bloß nach Leipzig ("Lip-tsing"), New York und Bozen, sondern auch nach Bayreuth und Rom.

Sehr amüsant zu lesen. Hab ziemlich oft schmunzeln müssen. Mit nur 200 Seiten lohnt es sich für jeden einmal hineinzuschnuppern.

Wie so häufig reicht auch in diesem Fall der zweite Band dem ersten nicht das Wasser. Dieses mal landet der Chinese, der vor Tausend Jahren eine Zeitmaschine entwickelt hat, in das wiedervereinte Deutschland und wundert sich über die Veränderungen seit seinem letzten Besuch.
Ganz nett zu lesen aber wie gesagt nicht so toll wie der erste Teil.
