Goes so. Directions

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goes so. Directions is a book by Peter Hein that was published in 2007 .

In his first book “Go so. Directions ”, the founding member of the band Fehlfarben , Peter Hein, sets off through Germany, Italy and Switzerland. It is a kind of tour diary with literary texts on cities like Augsburg , Tuttlingen or Würzburg .

The title “goes like this” is not the answer to the question of how you feel. “Goes like that” rather means the state of mobile behavior, in Peter Hein's definition the “path into the unknown becomes a hike, no recognizable destination”: directions to German and European cities.

Reviews

Hans Hoff in the Welt am Sonntag , October 21, 2007: “You can quickly feel that Hein has lost little of his early anger. This is very pleasant in times when the book market is teeming with smoothly ironed first-person expeditions of crisis-ridden leftovers. - A very special kind of literary Germany show. "

Richard Kämmerlings in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , November 30th, 2007: “A highly readable book about Germany, in which a 'strange', almost city-sociologically cool look is combined with an awareness of history. Hein is in top form where he can give free rein to love hatreds. All in all: a small, fine contemporary book, an instructive Cicerone in Rhenish anti-capitalist lo-fi aesthetics, the glossa continua of a contemporary in the true sense of the word. "

Ulrich Gutmair in the daily newspaper , December 11, 2007: "A punk on an educational journey - 'Geht so' is an entertaining, highly recommended piece of literature that deals with life in globalized Germany."
