As a member of the legendary Vienna Group, Friedrich Achleitner shattered the myths of traditional poetry. As an architecture critic, he warned against destruction and speculation, and as an architectural historian, he cataloged all of Austria. Now, a true sensation is to be announced: Friedrich Achleitner's first collection of prose. The stories revolve, in a literal sense, around what they denote, while also casting a wonderfully keen and ironic eye on the things and events that accompany everyday life. A small yet significant book full of wit, insight, and absurd humor.
