"Du wirst es nicht wiedererkennen, dein entstelltes Land, du wirst dir die Augen reiben in den neuen Fussgängerzonen, mit vollgestopften Schaufenstern, die blankgeschrubbten, glasglänzenden Adenauerplätze wuchern auch dort, nur das Elend hinter den Fassaden wächst greller und schlimmer."
Eine beeindruckende Erzähldynamik (das Tempo variiert gekonnt), scharfe Kritik am vorherrschenden System, dem Kapitalismus, leise und sorgfältig dargestellte Menschlichkeit.
