Mixed prose for the handbag: legendary glosses from the « Wiener Zeitung », defiantly by Daniela Strigl and Little Schmankerl from Italy.
The bad cats of the columnist
Stare on the shopping list, a tear test for condoms or the extended Surschnitzeltag: The « Extra » GuSe of the « Wiener Zeitung“Were legendary. Unfortunately, they no longer exist. But now 111 of the best columns are gathered in one volume. The“ pointed mouse caravan ”, for example, fell victim to the cats from Stefanie Holzer, Hermann Schlösser serves tea in the Tigertocktchen Café, and David Axmann Düst on the racing site of Schleiz. A wonderful reading for in between.

Pippi long stocking or would you prefer a defiant head?
When does it become virtue despite? Already titled by her parents as a Kohlhaas, Daniela Strigl wrote (despite?) Now wrote an essay about said property. With wise joke, the literary scholar approaches this term from all sides. Famous figures of the resistance are illuminated, such as Pippi Longstocking or the story of the « Defarion » (Emmy von Rhoden). The latter, however, is basically black pedagogy, because it only served to tame young girls.

When lobsters were served in jail
Others set trees, Gaetano Altopiano sets up sentences that you have to think about three times. The paradox of the « good old days », for example, because for others this time was present, and so it goes back forever. When the lobster was still a « jail dinner » or fertilizer for the fields and the caviar basic food for fishermen, such prose pieces throws our eyes in front of us – and we greedily snap like a starved booklet.
