If Ms. Löffler, Mr. Karasek and Mr. Reich-Ranicki get into such a fight over a book that it causes a scandal, then I absolutely have to read that book. The three of them could hardly have done a better job of advertising.

I am speechless

I started this book thinking it would be a nice little read during autumn/winter but as I sit here having read this book I know that this was everything but light and gentle. It was intimate and psychological, it captured the madness of a man who is in love with a mere memory perfectly. This book is truly one of a kind that has you in its chokehold and will leave you drained and speechless once you read it and finally understand the unusual title given to this masterpiece.
