The stories begin quite innocuously. For example, with a bookshelf at a bargain price. Or the town councillors' laudable intention to erect a memorial. With the grandpa who tells his grandson how things used to be. With an ageing couple who want to steal gooseberries again, just like in their childhood. And then things take a turn for the worst! There's a shortage of books on the bookshelf, what's the point of mail order - and all the things you can order there! A monument, all well and good - the SPD wants Rosa Luxemburg, the Greens agree as long as it is surrounded by ornamental plants, the AfD demands a bust of Goebbels, the monument commissioner pleads for Bob Dylan, and the city's blackbird commissioner also has a say! Grandpa's wisdom gets the child into nothing but trouble! And the police are lurking behind the gooseberry bushes! This is the stuff humor stories are made of. Uwe Stöß has a keen sense for the galloping zeitgeist and the chutzpah to take it in his stride.
