Who is like him? A desperate private thinker who plays with the absurdity of his situation. There is only one thing that the writer, in love with failure, allows: his notes - "I will cling to these Cahiers, for they are the only connection I have with writing." Hennning Ritter, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "What is only hinted at in the authorized work can now be specifically identified. The now complete translation of the notes is a significant publishing achievement." Jürgen Grosse, Information Philosophie. "Without exaggeration, it can be said that this volume introduces us to the most eloquent misanthrope of the 20th century." Roderich Schmitz, Junge Freiheit. "No one before him has described the despair of our existence with such verbal power." Peter Kampits, Wiener Zeitung.
