Wolf Haas has a loose connection

An unaccompanied reading.

Wolf Haas is the author of the cult hit series “Brenner” and master of the ingenious meta novel (“Verteidigung der Missionarstellung” [“In Defense of the Missionary Position”], “Das Wetter vor 15 Jahren” [“The Weather 15 Years Ago”]). The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung once said of his work that “German literature has never seen anything like it”. Now he has published Wackelkontakt [“Loose Connection”], a new firecracker of a book: Funeral speaker Franz Escher has a problem. His electrical socket has given up the ghost. He reads a few pages while waiting for the electrician. The book is about Elio Russo, the principal witness in a big Mafia trial. Elio sits in prison, waiting to be released. He’s betrayed so many people that he fears for his life. He stays awake in his cell at night, reading a book. It’s about Franz Escher. Escher’s been waiting all morning for the electrician. His socket has a loose connection.
