About the Book
Half philosopher and half clown-prince, Gert Jonke is Austria s comic gift to contemporary fiction.Book Synopsis
Half philosopher and half clown-prince, Gert Jonke is Austria s comic gift to contemporary fiction.Review Quotes
Gert Jonke was one of the great innovators of late 20th and early 21st Century literature and, for the English-speaking world, each additional translated work is more supporting evidence that Jonke s place is secure. --Josh Maday
He played with language like a child with soap bubbles, but the bubbles contained extremely refined and precise thought instead of air. --Elfriede Jelinek, author of The Piano Teacher and Greed
In wild thunderstorms of language Jonke released a nearly indescribable energy with power enough to topple the whole world . . . He was the heir to such disparate ancestors as Borges and Robert Walser. --Ronald Pohl
The System of Vienna, with its commanding cadences, self-absorbed insistence, and entrancing repetitions, not to mention its childlike surrender to fantasy, is boundless fiction that both puzzles and entertains. --John Madera
