"Salades" propose sous forme d'abécédaire la recette de l'auteur : une solide pincée de distanciation humoristique, un nuage de nostalgie, un regard bienveillant sur l'enfance mais goguenard sur les adultes, un zeste de poésie dilettante. À chaque lettre de l'alphabet un mot-clé, autour duquel l'auteur développe ses "salades", sous forme de textes courts : chroniques, nouvelles, essais... Dans cet abécédaire éclectique et badin, un dénominateur commun est proposé au lecteur : le sourire.

The events unfolded in these tales, the collected shards of my fractured memories, are neither sworn truths nor total fictions. We all know that two different witnesses to the same history standing right beside each other are likely to have differing opinions as to what just transpired before them. Because perceptions, those mirrors to our souls that authors are damned to try and change in others, are born of deeper stuff than mere experiences of perspective. The weight of human experience strongly suggests that this is rarely accomplished by telling the naked truth.

Uno dei più famosi racconti cechoviani in cui si narra una storia ancora attualissima: uno squallido ospedale di provincia, i matti trattati come bestie, uno strano filosofo paranoico e un dottore in crisi con la professione e con il mondo intero. L'epilogo tragi-comico è in puro stile cechoviano.

All my life, I've been a man-magnet. Everywhere I go, guys drop at my feet. After all, I have a perfect body, insatiable sex drive, and a razor wit. I'm also modest (can't you tell?). Trouble is, I've never been lucky in love. I only attract guys who forget their wallets and show up to dates wearing #@%#-stained clothes. With my best friend's wedding around the corner, I finally decide enough is enough.

If you’ve ever had the feeling that, at heart, most people are just really terrible, then this is the book for you - a collection of short stories about awful people doing awful things to one another. In these dark and satirical tales, you’ll witness the fallout from a disgraced pop star, the perils of cancel culture, the rabbit hole of COVID conspiracies, the merciless hunt for revenge, and one billionaire’s plan to save the world.

How would you describe life? If you bumped into God and it asked you to give an overview of what life on Earth was like, what would you do? You wouldn’t tell it one long, drawn-out story. Not at all. You’d give it a mixed bag of quick stories to give it a good taste of what life is. If that day did somehow come about, and you did find yourself talking nonsense to an infinite being on a lovely summer’s day, I’m sure you’d never again forget to keep yourself hydrated.

The 10 stories vary; some are funny, some more serious but they are all about real people in real situations, so the listener can identify with them. In some a cheat or a bully gets their comeuppance which is always very satisfactory for both writer and listener.

Das Beste aus 20 Jahren vom Shootingstar der deutschen Literatur: Geschichten über die schwäbische Heimat, das Berliner Exil und das ferne Amerika. Komisch und melancholisch. Vielschichtig und pointiert. Für den literarischen Genuss und den großen Lesespaß. "Seine Geschichten zu lesen ist ganz einfach immer wieder ein sehr großes Vergnügen." Horst Evers.

DJ Ass Maggots is a pseudonym for a doctor practicing Internal Medicine with an emphasis on geriatric care somewhere in Southern California. He lives a lifestyle of excess that would make most of his peers jealous - that is, if they knew. When he was born, when he will die, where he was born, and where he grew up are really not that important, but most authors display these facts. Well, if you really want to know, he received his MD in 1998 and his Internal Medicine Board Certification in 2001.

Alle Jahre wieder macht sich die halbe Republik kurz vor den Feiertagen auf den Weg zur buckligen Verwandtschaft. Als ob der Besuch bei Tante und Onkel nicht schon schlimm genug wäre, quälen wir uns stundenlang durch den Stau, fluchen über den ICE in verkehrter Wagenreihung oder sitzen auf dem verschneiten Rollfeld fest, während unser Airbus zum wiederholten Mal enteist wird. Und das alles umgeben von nicht minder nervigen Nichten, Neffen, Omas und Opas, die sich ebenfalls nicht vor dem Besuch bei der Familie zu drücken wussten.
