Excerpt

Here is a short extract from a book.

:-; Of course, I like the paragraph very much, indeed!

Can you guess which novel it is taken from?

but the red Mercedes stood untouched and the motorbike had not yet been returned to its former place.
If you have ever observed it, you know what a stupid thing an empty car is if you keep looking at it without ever turning your eyes away – and Litvak had observed quite a few empty cars in his life. There comes a time when, simply because you keep looking at it, you realize what a silly object a car actually is if there is no human there to give it meaning.

And what a ridiculous creature homo sapiens is for having invented it! After a few hours, a car is the worst piece of junk you ever saw in your life. You start dreaming of horses or a world of pedestrians. Of escaping this life full of junk and return to flesh and blood.

If you know the book and the author, send an email to me!

There is a small present waiting for the first three correct answers.

Here is a selection of what you can choose from:

  • the huge orange and storm-proof IF umbrella,
  • the book The Heretic Lupert Lay and How the Church Was a Failure or
  • 1 packet of Supremo (gourmet coffee from Unterhaching)

If you find it hard, here is a clue: Hans-Peter (HPK) wrote a review of the book in the IF blog some time ago.

The solution will be published on this page two weeks from now!

P.S.
🙂 It goes without saying that Hans-Peter Kuhn (HPK) cannot participate, but he will still receive a small “thank-you” for his nice book reviews.

Dear Hans-Peter: I would very much like to thank you for the great service you are doing by being such a faithful provider of articles to my blog!
