Das höllische Automobil: Novellen

A quirky collection of short prose, this volume slips between satire and wistful imagination, sketching the restless spirit of an era poised on the brink of modernity. The author’s witty self‑portrait hints at a restless creativity that never settles, offering readers a lively prelude before the first tale even begins.

The opening novella, hinted at by the book’s title, follows a bewildering automobile that seems to have slipped out of a nightmare and onto the streets of everyday life. Its driver and passengers encounter absurd obstacles, strange characters, and fleeting moments that turn ordinary travel into a surreal commentary on ambition, society, and the thin line between progress and chaos. The narrative stays light‑hearted yet subtly probing, inviting listeners to wonder how far a simple ride can carry us before it collides with the absurdities of the world.
