Sex
Thomas Glavinic ist gegen Eifersucht, denn Eifersucht ist hässlich. Er mag Frauen, die wissen, wie man eine Pizza isst. Nur ungern hört er seinen Nachbarn beim Geschlechtsverkehr zu. Er ist gegen Spaß im Bett. Und er weiß, es gibt offensive und defensive weibliche Geschlechtsorgane. Sex bestimmt unseren Alltag. Doch wie sehr, das wissen wir erst nach der Lektüre von "Sex".

About the author
Thomas Glavinic
22 books142 followersThe former writer of advertising copy and taxi driver emerged with his 1998 debut novel Carl Haffner's Love of the Draw. The novel describes the life of chess master Carl Schlechter. The book received several awards and has been translated into other languages, but did not make it onto the bestseller lists. The novel has autobiographical aspects: Thomas Glavinic played his first chess game at the age of five and in 1987 he achieved second place in the Austrian chess rankings for his age group.
The novel Herr Susi (Mr. Susi) followed in 2000. Written in hard prose, it is a statement against the football business, and received mainly negative reviews from the critics. In 2001, the criminal novel Der Kameramörder (The Camera Murderer) (awarded the Friedrich-Glauser-Prize at the Criminale) was published and was enthusiastically celebrated by the feuilletons due to its criticism of the media. In 2004, Glavinic succeeded in convincing both critics (no. 1 on the ORF critics best list) and readers (no. 1 on the Austrian bestseller list) with his satiric development-novel Wie man leben soll (How to Live), written from the perspective of the indefinite "one". In August 2006, the novel Die Arbeit der Nacht (The Work of the Night) was released and scored no. 1 on the critic's list again in the same month. His novel, Das bin doch ich (That's Me), appeared in summer of 2007 and was nominated for the German Book Prize. It made it onto the short list, a selection of six of the twenty authors originally chosen.
Thomas Glavinic is married and lives with his wife and son in Vienna.

Nette Lektüre für zwischendurch
Dieses Buch besteht aus einer Aneinanderreihung von losen kurzen Gedankensträngen rund um das Thema Sexualität und das Verhalten von Menschen im Zusammenhang mit Sex. Wobei der Lesende hier in erster Linie humorhofte und subjektive Anekdoten erwarten darf und sich keine wissenschaftlich gesicherten Erkenntnis erhoffen sollte.
Ja, kurzweilige und.. ganz nett
