For lovers of bizarre and black humour as well.” - Neues Deutschland “Read Stefan Kutzenberger's new novel, which will finally bring us lost and deluded people to the light.” - Cicero A revealing mirror of the present, a literary discovery and a lot of fun - far beyond the fateful US elections on November 3. With verve and wit, this novel shows how conspiracy scenarios are created and how almost everything can be explained with a "true" doctrine. All those people who have been interpreting the work of the musician and Nobel Prize winner for literature like a holy scripture for decades have chosen the Jokerman to prevent the re-election of one of the most bizarre tyrants of our days into the White House. The blame for this lies with none other than Bob Dylan, even if the latter knows nothing about it. The melancholic Austrian has the mission to save the world, because he is the Jokerman. His name is Kutzenberger, Stefan Kutzenberger. Berlin Verlag - Novel - Hardcover - August 2020 - 352 pages
