Von nahen Dingen und Menschen

Rate this book
In kurzen Prosatexten umkreist Hanns-Josef Ortheil das Zeitgeschehen der letzten fünf Jahre. Meist entzündet sich die Erzählung an einer Begebenheit, einer Nachricht, einer Begegnung – und führt ins Autobiografische, Philosophische oder auch Humoristische. Ob er die agile Kontaktfreude von Pinguinen beschreibt oder erklärt, warum sich die Bilder Jan Vermeers so großer Beliebtheit erfreuen – stets münden seine Aperçus in eine Pointe, weiten sich vom Privaten oder auch Zufälligen zum Allgemeinen.
