Paradise of Oblivion

Published by Diogenes as Das Paradies des Vergessens
Original Title: Das Paradies des Vergessens
In the novella ›The Paradie of Oblivion‹, Widmer is trying to square the circle: for how do you write a story that is about fading and disappearing memory? Indeed, although without memory no story can be told, the novella ambivalently (for the loss of our memory could well be a curse) seems to praise the fading of memory. Thus he who is devoid of memory is no longer haunted by the dreadful images of his past.
