With his novels "Your Name" and "Great Love," Navid Kermani has been celebrated as one of the most unconventional writers of our time. Now, his early novels and stories are available in a single volume - four literary thunderclaps that, despite their diversity, create a continuum: Whether it's the healing of baby colic inspired by rock music, the lives of saints from Cologne-Eigelstein and its surroundings, the struggles, humiliations, and misunderstandings of erotic love, or death in the form of a text message - each time, the wonder or failure of human existence reveals itself in the seemingly most trivial situations of our daily lives.
