Max Goldt – But?
with Max Goldt
An unaccompanied reading.
Columnist Max Goldt is a brilliantly keen observer of the present day and his collections of columns are legendary (“Die Kugeln in unseren Köpfen” and “Ä”, for example). For 13 years, his readers have been eagerly awaiting a new book from him. Now the wait is over. In Aber? [“But?”], he presents previously unpublished columns and new short dramas. The themes range from women’s soccer to hipster couples and dentists’ wives. As always, his texts shine with flawless language and subtle humor. In the words of writer colleague Daniel Kehlmann: “His work is smart and clear, unobtrusively moral – and above all the funniest thing German literature has to offer.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung says: “We can only be thankful for this comeback, which is another lesson in remarkable thinking and speaking, in a quality as excellent as it ever was.”
