Yesterday I found while cleaning up an old newspaper clipping from the literary supplement of the world from 2005. I have kept him because he has a history of Arnold Geiger , winner of many German Buchpreise.In this story, he describes a visit to his father's house, and for some reason I had the text like it so much dass ich dachte, von diesem Schriftsteller möchte ich mehr lesen.
Aber wie das so ist, ich vergass den Zeitungsausschnitt mit der Geschichte und mein Vorhaben.
Als ich dann den Ausschnitt wiederfand, ging ich sofort in die Öffentliche Bücherhalle am Hühnerposten, um mir weitere Erzählungen oder einen Roman von Armold Geiger auszuleihen.
Ich nahm dann den Alles über Sally mit, einen Roman. Es war das einzige Buch, dessen Klappentext sich interessant las und auch das einzige, das keine reingekritzelten Bemerkungen von anderen Leuten enthielt. Beschmierte und mit Kritzeleien versehene Bücher nehme ich nämlich nie mit, das heisst, falls ich die Schmierereien vorher entdecke.
What can I say, the book was one big disappointment for me.
It starts with that are a man and a woman in a hotel room. The man (Alfred) lies on the bed and wrote diary, the woman (Sally) is watching TV and is the concern about a stoning in Afghanistan. A shaky video flickers across the screen. We see dimly a woman with Burqa, buried deep in the sand and people who throw stones. It is said that these stones are not too big and not be too small, it's the details that size should have. Logical, is a large stone to the woman adultery a crime has committed, but now you dead to suffer as long as possible - after the inhuman idea of radicalized Islamists there.
then says Sally (after it has moved at least have their eyebrows quite dark with rage It's scary, what about blow for cobwebs in some minds ...
Too weak comparison, I found the
. man on the bed, so Alfred is expressed, not for this did He only briefly looked at the screen and not at all noticed
text in the book:...
Alfred bends toward his diary Without looking up, he mutters: Aha Yes and uuhh, all in its snail-like Element, lost in the measurement his small successes and defeats.
the woman after she has been quite upset about the stoning considered her husband disgust. As he lies there, with several pillows in the back like an old man, dressed in a compression stocking on the right lower leg, they find it disgusting.
But he finds it disgusting when he observed secretly. Although it has opposed to him (they are both in middle age) held quite well, but he still sees that her thighs are full of dents and small veins.
So it goes in the book continues incessantly. The man writes diary, while the woman thinks, as he groped them the night before.
text in the book:
half the night after he grabbed Sally's hips or her ass, most of the time he was on it.
(meanwhile you sweat in front of him.)
At this point I asked myself why because Alfred, when he grabs the half night after Sally's buttocks and hips, which may be most time on it. But perhaps Sally is there on the belly, then he can grab the same time and be on her.
If, however, does not mention that she lies on her stomach.
Having read up to this point, I gave the book a last Chance to be appetizing, until about page ten.
But it got worse. Once a page is described later after the Grapschszene, such as Alfred loosens his genitals, because his balls are on the limbs in sweat and then Sally blasphemes again about compression stockings of her husband I had enough ...
I closed the book. And was glad not to have this novel also spent money ...
Thank you, love books hall with you before one can always test whether it is worthwhile to buy one or the other book.
