LIKE A KNIFE — A chorus of angry citizens
“Overhage loves Germany, the rest can go to hell. Charlotte knows that politics only serve to make rich people even richer. Thieme has nothing against Muslims, he just doesn't want them in Germany. ”
Peter Truschner's Novel “Die Träumer” (2007 nominated for German Book Prize) was the first to address the return of right-wing extremism to the middle of society, which seemed to the press to be excessively exaggerated at the time. His new novel “Wie ein Messer” serves up the foundations of the shift to the right as a polyphonic chorus: angry citizens of all kinds who are filled with a great distrust of democracy and are hostile to changes in a globalized world.
“Peter Truschner is one of the dying species of artists who always has to go all out.” - FAZ
