It's hot. Blisteringly hot. In the shimmering air of the gas station, Alex Böhm waits for a yellow station wagon that is supposed to pull up at the pumps and take him to Munich. From there, he will fly to Portugal the next morning with his girlfriend Johanna. That's the plan. But suddenly, everything turns out completely differently: Alex finds himself on the side of the highway, in sun-baked rest areas and in the cellar vaults of Bavarian provincial brothels. Anarchically and with pitch-black humor, this novel leaves the reader wide-eyed. "A hilariously dark road movie that promises improvement. For everything, no matter what." "No joke: Our debut novel of the year.".
