In his third work after "Seasons of a Hunter" and "Hunting in Shine and Reflection," von Nolcken combines those qualities that have gradually become his trademark: narrative creativity, precise language, humor, a lot of self-irony, and at times pronounced comedy, along with extensive knowledge and education. He seemingly effortlessly manages to captivate the reader and only releases them once the book is finished. Since Gagern and Cramer-Klett, hunting literature has suffered from a decline. With Andreas Freiherr von Nolcken, it seems a mature author has emerged who has connected with the tradition of the greats. He could give the all-encompassing theme of hunting a new significance in literature—and thus in society.
