I was going to the Uni Library to get new books for my Thesis and found a bookshop sale in front. Ended up with these two books, adding yet again to my never ending pile of unread books🙈

Schlafes Bruder I remember from school; my german professor recommended it and I never got a chance to read it, until now and Helmut Qualtinger was brilliant, so this play probably is as well😊

I had no idea what to expect when a friend pressed this on me but it turned out to be unexpectedly captivating. This odd tale of an undiscovered musical genius living a tortured existence in a remote 19th C. German village is a weird mix of the dark and twisty and the darkly comic and is also at times strangely beautiful. Something about the mood (and maybe the weirdness) reminded me of Guy Maddin‘s indie pic The Saddest Music in the World. 💕🎶

KVanRead This cover though...😳 Not the one on my friend‘s copy thank goodness...this is from the Goodreads entry. 6y
