With feeling and toughness, the publisher Cenk Bora speaks about the author: Writing against a justice system that punishes to take revenge, rather than taking measures to change behavior – that is his life’s mission. "...he is a Michael Kohlhaas, someone who cannot bear to see the world in such immense disorder..." (Micha Sontheimer in "Die Zeit") "...someone who, through his persistent political work, provokes the state power to a furious rage, who has endured two years in prison and has kept himself mentally alive through chess, embodies for me a myth, as if directly sprung from Stefan Zweig's famous 'Chess Story'...." (Burghard Schröder in his Rowohlt paperback "Among Men") "...in a way, he’s a hero, even if he’s a bit of a nut, because he doesn’t give up on anything." (Benny Härlin quoted in "TAZ").
