Every relationship has the potential for satire. The bedroom and the man are all set, but the beloved is taking her time. Didn't he send her a text saying, "Expecting you on the little mattress, my darling"? Oops, the message accidentally went to a colleague. So much for a boring family life. With Stefan Schwarz, everyone has something to laugh about. He has to justify himself for his cowardly jumpiness, his wife isn't ready to be turned down in bed, his son lies too poorly, his daughter manages to conquer the kitchen's range hood, the damn East German cat always has something to complain about, and the wandering old father nearly stumbles into a press conference with Angela Merkel while his pants are slipping down. The short stories from the author's everyday cosmos are not only hilarious but also a pure joy stylistically.
