Nonetheless, I still can‘t decide if it deserves a “Pick“ because a “Pick“ might “only†be praise for a dying man‘s insights in life – and if Herrndorf was healthy and still alive, I might have thought that it the story and message of “Isa†falls a bit random.

My library also has the book. So I could catch up on the editor‘s epilogue wherein they disclose on how the book, the story emerged.

I appreciate that very much because it fortifies my belief that Isa cannot be dissected from Herrndorf‘s personal (his[s])tory.

Mehso-so

Once more a narration like a sinus curve. Thankfully, more of the poetic heights than of the tenacious, artificially depths remain. Herrndorf makes it easy to interpret this book autobiographically. That‘s why I now read „Arbeit und Struktur“ in parallel.
But it‘s also all that background that makes it hard to rate this one. It has parts I liked and I was so curious for it but is it “goodâ€, does it widen my mindâ“🤔
Between “Pick“ and “So-Soâ€.

“Happiness never makes you as happy as unhappiness makes you unhappy, and that‘s not because unhappiness lasts longer. That‘s just how it is.†(~ hour 1:51)

Of course I am reading “Metro 2034†– maybe just a bit less than I thought. 😉 I stumbled across this when searching a book I saw in my Litsy-feed at my online library. It‘s an incomplete novel from the “Tschickâ€-author. Normally I‘m no fan of fragments but I recognised right away who Isa is and therefore was heavily drawn to this piece. It‘s scarcely 3 hours and I already (minute 50) love the poetic “embedded particles†it has. ðŸ˜
