I quite enjoyed Depth Wish and A Battle, but seeing as they make up only half of the contents in this book if you’re going by title and less than half of the book if you’re going based on length, I’d say that my lack of enjoyment for the third story and Suskind’s reflection overwhelm my enjoyment of the other two, leaving this with only a 2.5 star rating for me.

Patrick Süskind schafft es immer mich komplett zu fassen. Ein wirklich guter Geschichtenerzähler.

Dei quattro racconti, quello più lungo è ridicolo. L'autore poteva dare un po' di più.

Four simple stories illustrating how lack of information can skew perspective and how easily betrayed we can be by our own mind.
