you Want to talk about the new book by Wolf Haas, then you can’t get past this one and a half key lines: “Backward through the knee, the world was always considered the most interesting.” For the first Time this phrase stands at the beginning of the novel “Young man” – so properly understand doing it until he falls at the end of the 238 pages a second Time.
in Between is the story of a young Austrian, of 1973 at the summer job at the gas station with the love of his life and then decides that 93 pounds for a thirteen-year-old are too much. The young man, whose life is strongly reminiscent of the of the author is closer to his beloved Elsa, the wife of the dashing is actually, truck driver, Cho, actually. What has less to do with the diet than to the fact that Elsa would like to learn English. So the high school student practicing with her, until one day the Cho at the gas station arrives, and the boy with the words, “My wife says you asks so are a huge Englishman”, to accompany him as an interpreter to Greece. However, between Schwarzach, Split and Thessaloniki, everything is quite different than expected.
His style is the author, even without his famous private detective Simon Brenner faithful. Wolf Haas plays with dialect and language, the result is less whimsical than the others, to Laugh, there’s still enough. In short: The novel is “Young man” is an intelligent Coming-of-Age fairy tale, or perhaps simply Biographical, backwards through the knees.
