The author compares the first 25 years of his grandfather's life with his own in short stories. He arranges one story from each of them on a double page, creating an interesting juxtaposition of the lives of two generations and allowing for a direct comparison. It is striking that despite a 70-year difference, both life paths show remarkable parallels. This impression is enhanced by the fitting illustrations of the 92-year-old grandfather and the young author. In three chapters, Sebastian Lörscher explores his grandfather's and his own childhood and early youth, the teenage years, and early adulthood, thereby creating a meaningful portrait of our time.
