Worried that this is a series of six books. Not only is releasing six thin volumes an annoying practice, this book ran out of steam halfway through, even though it started brilliantly.

Joerg reviewed Aller Tage Abend by Jenny Erpenbeck
Gut, aber...
3 stars
Schwierig. Auf der einen Seite ein Weltklasse Gespuer dafuer, wie Menschen leben und mit der Zeit umgehen, was Momente ausmacht. Auf der anderen Seite Sprache, die deutlich zu konstruiert ist clever zu sein, was dem Buch gar nicht gut steht. Ich hab das Audiobuch gehoert, von der Autorin gelesen in einem peniblen Deutschlehrerinnenton. Das war nicht sehr angenehm, passt aber gut zur meiner Empfindung.
