The Best of Bov: The best from 20 years of the shooting star of German literature. Stories about the Swabian homeland, the Berlin exile, and distant America. Humorous and melancholic. Multifaceted and pointed. For literary enjoyment and great reading pleasure. "Reading his stories is always a great pleasure." - Horst Evers. "Stories in the familiar Bjerg style, full of humor and wisdom." - Brigitte. "The special thing lies in the extremely laconic narrative tone, which can do something that only literature can." - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "No false word, constantly unexpected turns, very sad jokes. Condensed Auerhaus." - LITERATUR SPIEGEL. "It’s as if you are reading the biography of Auerhaus." - Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung.
