[Books] Christian Kracht - Faserland



Having been in many feuilletons of German newspapers lately, Christian Kracht fetched my interest some month ago. He is a Swiss author and journalist, who has been working for the well known magazine "Der Spiegel". Today I will not write about his new novel, Imperium, but about his first: Faserland.





I can't remember what exactly I liked so much about it. Maybe the fact that after a long book it was easy to finish in two days. It doesn't really have a thrilling story: It's about a well-situated man in his thirties or forties, who is travelling from the very north of Germany to Switzerland via south germany. He meets old friends and more or less intensely interfears with their lives in a not so positive way.
