—Der Spiegel
“Schwitter has mastered the art of tracing love in all its ordinariness and its abysses, possibilities, and magical powers with an appealing sense of calm and quiet intensity.”
—Deutsche Presse-Agentur
“Few German-language authors today have written about love so enjoyably and intelligently, with ease and virtuosity and precision, and above all, without any sentimentally.”
—Die Zeit
