A brilliant, witty tour de force, translated with great style.
Imagine being famous. Wouldn't that be great? But what if, one day, you got stuck in a country where no one spoke your language. Where no one knew your face and you had no way of contacting home. How would your fame help you then? What would happen if someone got hold of your mobile phone? If they spoke to your girlfriends, your agent, your director and started making decisions for you? In this delightfully entertaining book, Daniel Kehlmann throws his characters into these situations and many more.
