What's it about?

Well. A novel is easy to explain: Boy meets Girl (or something like that) under a summer moon; complications and turmoil follow; and in the end, they’re either married or have passed away in a very romantic way. That’s catchy—it’s got punch! But how do you describe a collection of texts? Short stories? Slam poems? That’s a bit trickier.

But feel free to give it a try! Because *The Amazing Backseat Boy* features a diverse array of texts. A colorful mix. Ranging from amusing, satirical, funny, even romantic, to deeply personal. And guaranteed to be rhyme-free. Promise.

The author takes you—completely illegally—behind the Iron Curtain, laments that there are no men’s magazines called “Günther” or “Ulf-Torben,” and ponders the oh-so-romantic German soul. In short stories and stage plays, he sings the praises of the city of Fürth, takes a detour to the early Middle Ages to visit Alfons the Chaste, and at the same time offers lessons in Swiss German and Dutch. The occasional romantic and contemplative interlude is included. Pop literature at its finest.
