- Твоят свят рухва ли? - пита Георг.
- Всеки ден - отвръщам аз. - Може ли да се живее иначе?


* нихилизъм
* черен хумор
* сарказъм
* инфлация
* шизофрения
* втф е тоя край, ремарк?
* екзистенциална криза
* ирония
* смърт


Spoiler- За кое питате?
- За това, което разправихте за Изабел.
- О, нищо! Нищо особено! Тя умря.
Женевиев се спира уплашена.
- Умряла? Колко жалко! Извинете, не знаех...
- Няма значение. Аз я познавах много бегло.
- Неочаквано ли умря?
- Да - отвръщам аз. - Но така, че съвсем не забеляза. В това има нещо ценно все пак.

Příjemné odpočinkové čtení. Přiznám se, že na tyhle moderní německé autory jsem narazil až teď, takže jsem příjemně překvapen (zatím jsem spíš končil u Widukinda, max Junga) - taková hezká náladovka z hyperinflačního Německa před sto lety. I dnes je to čtivé, příjemné, i když už trochu jinak psané, než jsme zvyklí - jen málo polopatické akce, víc jemného neprvoplánového humoru...

Philosophical questions about death and religion, colorful characters, and a glimpse of the economic hardship in post WWI Germany. Among my favorite quotes:
" ... one dead man is death - and two million are only a statistic."
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Church! It is the only dictatorship that has not been overthrow in two thousand years."
"Perhaps death has a completely wrong name. We can only see it from one side. Perhaps it is perfect love between God and us."

I like his style, but it just didn't grab me the way AQOTWF did. I really liked all the inflation stuff, and the epilogue.
