content

In Dath's largest novel, resuscitated zombies , resembling the Wehrmacht , fight against humanity. A small group of superheroes with supernatural abilities who know each other from their youth in a small town in Baden - which is reminiscent of Dath's own hometown - try to stop the zombies.

An extensive political essay is spread over the second half of the novel, nearly 200 pages in all. He is referred to in the novel as “ What to do? of the 21st century ”, that is, as a new version of Lenin's theory of revolution for the present.

According to Dath's own admission, the book fully states "what I had to say about all things in retrospect of everything I have worked since 1994".

reception

Nadja Geer wrote in Die Zeit that “a lot of leisure” was necessary for the “monstrous” reading, as well as the ability “to zap between very different subjects.” But the novel was also “splendid cannon fodder” for the trench warfare within the German left: “ who want to get out of the ditch and into the field of battle, read the drastic Dietmar Dath ". Kerstin Grether in the daily newspaper was:" Anyone who thinks that Dath here again the universal Pynchon can hang out -Postmodernen or even the first Bildungsroman of the 21st century wanted to write, assuming too much calculation. Dath just has a lot to say, and he says it. "
