When his dentist places him in front of a television to distract him, Eberhard Starusch projects onto the screen his present, resulting in a combination of reality and fantasy that provides a mirror image of German history.
Summary
Starusch, a 40-year-old teacher of German and history, undergoes protracted dental treatment in an office where TV is used to distract the patients. Under local anesthesia, the patient projects onto the screen his past and present with the fluidity and visual quality of the movies. A satirical portrait of social confusions. Translated by Ralph Manheim. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
