Quotes by Thomas Pletzinger (?)

“Our stories don’t fit on a newspaper page. I’m tired of newspaper pages, Elisabeth. Life is a spiral, not a line.”
― Thomas Pletzinger, Funeral for a Dog

“Svensson is renovating his ruin.”
― Thomas Pletzinger, Funeral for a Dog

2 likes

“Svensson has struggled as everyone struggles, he’s conceded his defeats. He’s not a player, but he has lost nonetheless. Svensson is no stranger than the rest of us. At some point he decided to stop playing the game, and turned to the tangible things: Svensson and the painter Kiki Kaufman have a daughter named Bella. Bella has two teeth (the research intern did a terrible job). Svensson and Kiki are turning a ruin into a house, they’re turning a study into a nursery, they plant and harvest and breed animals and slaughter and cook.”
― Thomas Pletzinger, Funeral for a Dog
