reception
So, now you come
“A thriller, a family tragedy, a sloping Bildungsroman: All of this is in this true, fictional story that Arno Frank puts into the mouth of his true, fictional self from back then so that he can tell it to us - a boy who gradually becomes clear that his father is a criminal, a con man, and that the dream world he draws his family into will inevitably explode. "
“Similar to 'Tschick', the other great German road novel of our day, you suspect when reading that it will soon have to be made into a film. The situational humor is similar to that of Herrndorf, the fast-paced plot won't let you go anyway, you are touched and dismayed at the same time and always want to paint new passages. "
Other critics described the novel as a gripping drama without sentimentality and praised the lapidary narrative tone and the fine ironic distance.
