Ruhm

This is it, the book that I left on the hand towel disposer next to the sink in the restroom down on the lower ground floor of the Jaeger's Hostel in Munich. 'Ruhm' by Daniel Kehlmann. The titel translates into 'Fame', the sustitle would be something like 'A novel told in nine stories'.

All the nine short stories have something in common. Not like different strings that lead to a big explosion, but more in terms of people. Every story lives from its characters, right? And this book makes you turn the pages with nine little stories about nine little people. One character leading to the next. It's a great read, check it out.
