How can you become a better father than your own?
In "Heimwärts", Michael Lentz recalls the eerie years of the old Federal Republic. Between apple pie and anger, between matchbox cars and metaphysics, a small-town West German childhood plays out in his new novel. The father regularly slips his hand, or they meet wordlessly in the house. There is plenty to eat, and the mother ensures order and a guilty conscience. The memories are interrupted by the voice of a child who only knows the old Federal Republic from hearsay and can no longer do much with all the old stuff today.
