No Need to Shout Like That

Original Title: Kein Grund, gleich so rumzuschreien

Although Martin Suter and Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre like to celebrate life, from time to time they also turn their attention to serious matters — in the form of existential events. In this volume, they want and need to ask themselves the big, ultimate questions; yet they see it as a question of style to never deny themselves a punch line. Humour as a survival strategy, and laughter as a release — these two writers show us how it's done.

The second instalment of the conversations between two unlikely friends - tackling existential topics with an unflinchingly comic gaze.
