Status Updates From Stiller

When the smile had vanished from his face and a silence of unconcealed embarrassment had lasted long enough, a silence that seemed to imply it was now settled that I was the missing Stiller and therefore the former lover of his wife, who was now glad to be back home, and after he had put away his bunch of keys—he uttered this not very original remark:
"Life's a funny thing"

I couldn't think of anything either.

writing is not communication with readers, not even communication with oneself, but communication with the inexpressible.

The more exactly one succeeds in expressing oneself, the more clearly appears the inexpressible force, that is to say the reality, that oppresses and moves the writer. We possess language in order to become mute.

This book is incredible.

I love this book

Espectacular novela sobre nuestra identidad y la forma en que los demás nos pueden ver.

Die ersten Seiten Homo Faber haben bei mir ein ähnliches positives Gefühl hinterlassen. Das Buch ist so klar zu lesen, dem Handlungsstrang so einfach zu folgen. Es macht Freude, dieses Buch zu lesen.
