Nadolny's first novel, The Discovery of Slowness, was an award-winning underground classic in 14 languages. Now, in a fast and witty narrative that will be a hit among lively spirits wherever they are found, Nadolny fuses love, adventure, and intrigue into a fresh view of contemporary life--seen through the eyes of the ancient Greek gods.
Sten Nadolny tells a humorous and informative story about Hermes, God of Mischief. It was wonderfully written and I couldnt put it down. Recommended for anyone interested in gods and mythology in a present day setting. Or for anyone who just loves a good story!
For impertinently nice and easy people

As for German readers it is the best told truth of the current situation I have read so far. Who loves greek mythology should have a light and amusing read, however do not expect it to be dull or low levelled! You will learn a lot about the German mentality. Even though the Germans are not always described as the most friendly entities, you'll like them nevertheless
