An absurd book that is not disturbing, though. The King of Bavaria Ludwig II (the one from Neuschweinstein Castle to be clear) watching TV until he gets dizzy. An unobtainable Wagner whom even Parsifal goes in search of and over all, Karl, Swann King and factotum of the unfindable theater.

Un libro assurdo che peró non disturba. Il re di Baviera Ludovico II (quello del castello di Neuschweinstein per capirsi) che guarda la tv fino a stordirsi. Un Wagner introvabile di cui anche Parsifal va alla ricerca e su tutti, Karl, Swann King e factotum dell teatro introvabile.
