>> An event: the new novel by Ror Wolf
It starts with missing body parts, exploding streets, a rustling, cracking, hissing and scraping. »Suddenly the whole world began to move, it began to steam and to tremble noiselessly.«
Ror Wolf, the great artist of language and master of grotesque comedy, presents a new novel on his 80th birthday. It reports on the departure of the narrator into an unleashed reality, of his journey through rampant, seemingly apocalyptic landscapes inhabited by nameless, voracious creatures, and his meetings with mysterious ladies in station hotels and in beer halls.
The continents change within the batting of an eyelid. Detached from space and time a part of the unique universe of Ror Wolf emerges: a cabinet of curiosities at once nightmarish and fascinating, full of false bottoms, concealed doors and suddenly appearing chasms.
Ror Wolf’s writing is powerful, linguistically inventive and disturbingly comic – but is never merely eager to please. Beyond every rule of conventional literature he leads his readers into an adventure whose ending is uncertain, on an expedition into unpredictable worlds outside our reality.
