Black Sails By Erich Wolfgang Skwara, Translated by Derk Wynand

A novel that resembles a Kafkaesque puppet theater: a mad director regards the world as a stage that he alone controls. He forces his associates into roles determined by him. Tristan, always at risk of dying of a broken heart, is an ingredient of that concept. "A work of macabre pithiness, written in a sort of prose rarely encountered nowadays..." Hans Sahl Die Welt
