The unpleasant things first

"Sibylle Berg is back. As if she had never been away. And she wasn't. She was only in a foreign country: with men. There she saw a lot, experienced a lot, learned a lot. And, as is her way, she shares this generously with her readers. In part more generously than necessary, perhaps: for these short stories, scenes, snapshots are as much fun as the truth. So rather not at all. Good that you can at least laugh about it. "
