reception

Radio Bremen judged Maas' debut novel: “With his strong-sounding, rhythmic writing, Marcel Maas sums up the lifestyle of a young generation.” Spiegel Online stated: “His writing style is reminiscent of the brutal mass choreographies of a DJ Boys Noize : All impressions are exaggerated, all breaks abrupt, the beats always commands. "Jan Ehlert discussed the novel for the NDR :" The result is a highly experimental text that consists of many fragments, of song quotations, advertising slogans and scraps of thought - which seem to be put together at random, but still follow their own breathless rhythm. ” Jan Drees wrote in the music magazine Raveline :“ His debut 'Play. Repeat ', confidently classified as a' prose set 'in the DJ cosmos, tells of a party cycle, of lovers and buddies who have taken the beat of countless raves into their everyday language […] ”. On literaturkritik.de Beat Mazenauer compared Maas 'novel with Rainald Goetz ' story Rave : “In its remix, 'Rave' followed the laws of the party and let the artificially generated excitement go up in twitching strobe flashes. Marcel Maas, born in 1987 and thus a generation younger than Goetz, takes up this aesthetic dance form again and sends it through the loop sampler. ”In the Welt am Sonntag it was said:“ The language is reminiscent of hip-hop battles, of poetry slams and beat juggling - that is the DJ discipline in which they switch back and forth between two turntables until a new, seemingly coherent sound is created. And anyone who has ever watched a DJ at work will guess what dizzying feeling can arise when reading this debut novel. " Psychologie Heute wrote:" This debut pumps beats and images into the sensory world of the reader. In a language that breaks away from yesterday, as sonorous as it is rhythmic, Marcel Maas tells of the dilemma of youth in the new millennium. "
