Allegedly, Sorta P

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

The first 100 pages, then I stopped. Perhaps you shouldn't believe the 
hype. "Tschick" (Why We Took the Car) is imho overrated too, though it 
works, so I hear, fine as a book read in school. I also completely read 
Herrndorf's debut novel "In Plüschgewittern" (Storm of Plush: the title 
tries to parody Jünger's early war diary "Storm of Steel", dt. "In 
Stahlgewittern") as well as the diary of his dying "Arbeit und Struktur" 
(Work and Structure), which he immediately started to write after he was 
diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor. These two I like a little 
better. What Herrndorf, by education an illustrator & - as a reader - 
fond of Nabokov, was good at is the visual dimension of literature. He 
might not have had good ears, but he definitely had eyes.
