An Umbrella for This Day
About This Novel
Life is just a long rainy day, and the body is an umbrella for this day... William Gnazzi, winner of the 2004 Büchner Prize in Germany. A humorist with a kind soul, an indomitable spirit who observed and listened carefully to the times. ... We have many thoughtful writers, but no humorous writers. --Speecher of the Büchner Award In middle age, he is a shoe tester. He wears high-end semi-finished shoes all day long and wanders the streets, writing trial experience for manufacturers. His girlfriend just left him because she couldn't stand his muddled attitude towards life. And although he was highly educated and possessed talents valued by others, he always felt like a high-end semi-finished shoe because he could not find his identity in life. A loser's life story, an inconsolable melancholy and sobriety... The fact that I don't want to talk less and less scares me a little because I don't know if so many silent moments in my life are even normal. I recently thought that I should send a silence schedule to people I know and know. There will be constant silence on Mondays and Tuesdays. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, there will be silence only in the morning. In the afternoon, there will be relaxed silence, which means short conversations and short phone calls are allowed. It's only Friday and Saturday that I'm willing to make irresponsible remarks, but only after eleven o'clock. On Sundays there was absolute silence.
