Every good person between Passau and Flensburg knows that Max Goldt's work is very funny. But if you read it carefully, you will see that it is one of the finest works that our literature has to offer, that it contains true wonders of elegance and poetry, and that behind its deceptive flights of thought lie the most precise composition and a dazzlingly bright moral intelligence, something that still escapes many who are only after laughter and punch lines. Max Goldt should be read, praised and awarded. Daniel Kehlmann
\n\u00bbPointing out the ambiguities in the systematics of things is just one of the honorable tasks to which the German columnist Max Goldt has dedicated himself. Hardly anyone knows as well as Goldt how to push the supposed sideshows of life into the eye of the beholder and to probe today's everyday life for its contradictions and curiosities.\u00ab
\nRegula Fuchs, The Bund, Bern (CH)
\n\u00bbListening to Max Goldt is a double pleasure, because his columns are actually 'lyrics' that require an interpreter.\u00ab Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
\n"There is little that beats Max Goldt's texts, except for Max Goldt reading Max Goldt's texts. It doesn't get any better than that." Westfalenpost
