Max Goldt reads

"Every good person between Passau and Flensburg knows that Max Goldt's work is very funny. But the fact that, if you read it carefully, it is among the most finely crafted that our literature has to offer, that it contains true wonders of elegance and poetry and that his deceptive flights of thought conceal the most precise composition and a dazzlingly bright moral intelligence, still escapes many who are only after laughter and punchlines. Max Goldt should be read, praised and honored." - Daniel Kehlmann
