This is a new story about Leo Richter, whom readers know as one of the main characters from Kehlmann’s latest novel Fame. A prestigious newspaper gets in touch with the well-known author Leo Richter and asks to do piece on him. Flattered, Richter agrees – which is the start of a long, comic path of suffering. This book also contains a portrait of Kehlmann by Adam Sobocynski.
