Gregor, you lit the flame and let those sweet bitches from the first sentence on into your heart. They thank you too.
Martin, you brought me closer to my own novel, your friendship shines and shines.
Daniela, once again you’ve helped me mull over my doubts in long conversations, stroked my head reassuringly, and grinned away the insecurities.
Christine & Peter & Ulrike & Stephanie & Martina, you read as if possessed, while I sat at home as if possessed and waited for your comments.
Evi & Felix for the confidence you give my writing.
Arnon Grünberg & Larry McMurtry & George R. R. Martin, it’s a joy to learn from you.
Misophone & William Fitzsimmons & Lloyd Cole, whatever it is, you’ve got it.
Corinna, my greatest heroine, who puts every sun in the shade.
