content
Most of the book are fictional interviews in which, according to Cristina Nord (Die Zeit), Zaimoğlu “hides his personal enemy figures like Wiglaf Droste or Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre behind false names” in order to expose them to ridicule. The head-and-collar figure Tassilo von Talkau-Marl, for example, can be deciphered as Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre. Actually a “loose compilation of short stories” (Daniel Bax) some critics saw a settlement with pop literature in the book.
The texts were grouped into several departments: Quarters, Around Head and Collar: Galaxy in Conversation I, Export-Import, Around Head and Collar: Galaxy in Conversation II, Private Life, Around Head and Collar: Galaxy in Conversation III, Lifestyle, Around Head and collar: Galaxy in conversation IV and obituary.
