In this book, everyone will learn what they have always wanted to know about the witty and melancholic artworks of the ambitious storyteller Robert Menasse, but have not dared to think about until now. It is high time to introduce the three remarkable novels of the Austrian author - Blessed Times, Fragile World, Sensual Certainty, Reverse Thrust - and his history of disappearing knowledge, The Phenomenology of Disenchantment, to as many curious readers as possible. This reading book aims to extend a multi-voiced invitation to a discovery journey that engages all the senses. Alongside insightful confessions from the author, it features reading and life experiences from colleagues, outstanding reviews, brilliantly written essays, and interpretations from a literary perspective.
