Norbert Hummelt explores landscapes and places, literary and historical sites in his stories. His texts are a precious school of casualness. This is to be understood literally: someone passes by something and finds it strange. What matters less is the what than the when and where. When Peter Handke was once searching for the "hour of true feeling," Hummelt is concerned with the place of lingering experience. What was it like back then, as a young West German visiting the GDR? The music of "Magdeburg" remained in memory - but where has it gone? And the great record store "Saturn" in Cologne - what was this once a Mecca of lived music compared to the dreary warehouse of electronic entertainment devices today? How about leaving the constant noise of the current moment and tracing the footsteps of Eichendorff in Obers?.
