With "The Ease of Writing," Michael Groissmeier continues the path he began with his autobiographical novel "The Pupil" and his last book "On Poet's Paths." Once again, he returns to his childhood in the Dachau region: to dusty country roads, to a very special walnut tree, to the sounds of nature - and to the haunting images of a time that shaped him as a child. In short, poignant memories, images of a long life emerge: from the boys' seminary in Freising to his work in public service and to writing in old age. Time and again, the author pauses to reflect on nature and music, on aging, on death and transience, and on the question of what sustains a person. Influenced by Christian-Western values and humanistic thought, he also touches on the question of God. With Bavarian directness and mischievous, at times coarse humor, Groissmeier recounts mishaps, stubborn encounters, and the peculiarities of everyday life. A very personal book that balances seriousness and lightness - a quiet homage to the power of memory and writing.
