reception
The femundo portal writes about the novel Fünfers Schatten:
"Daniel Goetsch paints a vivid picture of his hometown in the eighties, when the youth riots shook the city and the art scene was looking for new forms of expression [...] The sometimes gray-overcast episodes [...] contrasted with the southern charm of his location: The island of Porquerolles , Mediterranean nature reserve without mass tourism ...
