"This is one of the weirdest SF novels I have read in a long while. Simultaneously feels like a parody of "Dune" and the Australian soap opera "McLeod's Daughters", written in a similar style and tone as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" but predates all 3 works." — Nov 22, 2025 05:59AM

"The story of "The Deluge over Norderney" follows the Decameron template of several people from very different cultural/social backgrounds taking refuge during a disaster (this time a flood) and telling stories from either their own lives or from history, they find relevant to the present state of affairs. In other words, this is an anthology of thematically related stories nested WITHIN such an anthology." — Jul 24, 2025 01:10AM
