New novel by Michael Kruger A strange ethereal girl

the novel is, columns in it. And the sound like this: “When I started, almost fifty years ago with my job, we had to use the German language, today, we are as a Consultant-expert for Work-Life Balance and Personal Branding.” Michael krüger’s first-person narrator, motivation coach, but rather with cultural criticism. Nothing escapes his dissecting look, the gold laminated Smartphone, he commented on the same floor as pedestrian-only zones umgemodelte stations. Manager, the not read books, but prefer their films to look at, to be cleaned with the same dedication as flat screens, self-driving cars and the “digital metastases”, to read constantly in the Newspapers.

He carries the title “Temporary” and is about a narrator who is associated in ongoing Self – and foreign bespiegelung. When he wakes up during a train journey from sleep, he noticed that a girl in him, has nestled. It is called Jara, speaks no English, looks like a mix of “Goblin and Fairy” and lives henceforth with him.
