• About the Author

Ulrich Lofart, bachelor and administrative jurist, falls in love in the supermarket with Dorothee, a young, lively management consultant. It isn't long before his professional and private life become total chaos. A prudent love-story set in day-to-day surroundings and an amusing novel about the excessive demands life itself makes.

DER SPIEGEL

»Burkhard Spinnen sets a new standard. He has written a great book about the smaller things in life.«

»Brilliant is, what and how Spinnen writes. We will definitely be hearing more of him. But before that read and enjoy LANGER SAMSTAG.«
Die Woche

»Only in Spinnen's crystal-clear language can such glances at ordinary life explode into breathtaking revelations.«
