The explosiveness of the material matches the radicality of the literary techniques. In this novel, the facts are laid bare. Bold in structure, Chotjewitz writes about his friend Klaus Croissant, who is harassed as a defense attorney, pursued as an alleged mastermind of international terrorism, and was once again convicted in 1990 for anti-state agent activities following the annexation of East Germany by the Federal Republic. Meticulously researched, vividly detailed, and told in a cool manner, the novel aligns with Chotjewitz's scandalous fragment about the RAF from 1978, "The Lords of the Dawn.".
