I remember how King Kong died

Jochen Schmidt

A Florilegium

What do you do if your girlfriend has given you a very urgent order before you leave, partly because you are looking after your child and you have forgotten about him or her? Why did you always have to go to the "countryside" as a child when television was much more interesting, and to what extent did these excursions permanently damage your relationship with nature? And what is it that makes reading tours, for example to the tranquil Pufen, so unforgettable? That you were once again allowed to sign the book of another author of the same name after the reading?

Jochen Schmidt is the master of wonder and amazement, of an always slightly irritated self-exploration and the eternal longing to finally be allowed to play, read and collect with such joy of discovery and incontrovertibility as one was never actually allowed to do as a child. In the stories of this volume, adorned with photo essays and cartoons, the pleasure of pretending to have grown up is shown to its fullest extent. Whether it is a text on the idealised idea of a childhood in the West as a GDR child or the old town of Prague - reading Schmidt is always pure pleasure.
