Rezensionen für Ich wünsche mir, daß irgendwo jemand auf mich wartet

[petroglyph_1 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

A short but charming collection of quirky short stories. Some lean towards chick lit, others towards depressed teen fiction, still others towards self-referential absurd-ditties. The style is lean, terse and understated, while it's firmy rooted in everyday colloquial French, lending the whole a directness without which the tales would lose about half their effect. Recommended for brief, fluttering encounters and small-scale twists of condensed reality.

A very enjoyable collection of short stories about characters dealing with real life issues, among which a woman going on a date with a stranger met on the street, a man responsible for a terrible accident because of a bad decision, and a student who works at the local chain clothing store and her struggles with her manager. They all come vividly to life thanks to Gavalda's unique writing style which is at once humorous and light yet deeply felt. If you read French, you MUST read the original French version to fully appreciate it. This is the second Gavalda book and there will very likely be more to come.

Easy, short, clear, yes, but also totally forgettable. I read this book twice, because I wasn't sure if I had read it when I found it in my shelf - and couldn't remember when I had finished it. But since there was no feeling in my guts and no thoughts in my head afterwards, I think I just forgot the whole thing. It didn't even take an effort to read through, which can be seen as a positive thing in this case.

This short collection of French short stories entertained me one night while the power was out. Very simple, very short, very clean. Loose endings abound, yet everything seemed as if it had been tied off. A weird feeling.
