Boek | De straat - Robert Seethaler
De straat ligt niet in het centrum, en ook niet aan de rand. Ze ligt ergens daartussen verstopt. Geen bezoeker komt er per ongeluk terecht, en toch gebeurt er alles wat een mens maar kan overkomen. Een jongen wordt gegrepen door jachtkoorts. Een andere jongen weet geen raad met zijn woede. Een bloemenverkoopster leeft voor een man die haar niet eens ziet staan. Een geestelijke raakt zijn parochie kwijt.
The Café with No Name

All of his planning, plus his desire to find purpose, grows into more than he ever imagined, as the café breathes new life into its neighborhood.

Buchtipp | Café ohne Namen | Robert Seethaler | CREME GUIDES
An Robert Seethaler heftet das Etikett der Einfallslosigkeit. Wer seine Bücher empfiehlt, springt demnach auf einen Bestseller-Bus auf, wer sie gelangweilt nicht zu Ende liest, gibt daran dem Autor die Schuld. In diesem Vorwurf steckt vor allem Neid und Missgunst. Missgunst, weil inzwischen doch einige Leser*innen gemerkt haben, dass Seethaler-lesen einfach guttut.

Haunted by A Gentle Survivor [Review]
A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler It would be hard to find a book on my shelves with a less exciting title than A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler. The synopsis didn’t sound promising either. Which is why this novella remained on those shelves unread for two years. But all assumptions this would be a dull book were swept aside after only five pages.
It's A Wrap : BookerTalk
Clearly I am a fan of taking things to the wire. I finished book 13 from my #summer reading list with five minutes to spare before the end of the deadline. But if September 3 had come and gone and I still had a few pages left to read, I don’t imagine anything disastrous would have befallen me. I’m pretty chuffed that I managed to read 13 books. . I know plenty of other bloggers reached the heights of 20 but that was never going to happen for me.
The Tobacconist
'Set at a time of lengthening shadows, this is a novel about the sparks that illuminate the dark: of wisdom, compassion, defiance and courage.
