Goody Eisinger is someone people like because he invents such amazing and, as he says, true stories. Everyone feels comfortable in his presence, and even the "apples sing." A philosopher, as they say in the town. He was born here, grew up here, worked as a foreman in the municipal workshops, and was a curator at the Museum of Prehistory. He stayed here and left without saying goodbye. One day, he simply vanished, and his brother has nothing left but to tell stories about Goody. And in doing so, also about himself. "As a form of deferred love, this book touches us like no other. One doesn't want to stop recounting its most beautiful passages. [...] What would contemporary German-language literature be without the Swiss Jörg Steiner?".
