»Otto Jägersberg shows that even poetry, the most subtle and delicate of the three classical genres, can be a stimulant for laughter.«
Stuttgarter Zeitung
»How does Otto Jägersberg write? Well, you can enjoy his lines of poetry and prose in sips, but you may become tipsy quite fast in the process.«
Frank Lorentz / Welt am Sonntag
»It is a pleasure to follow this wandering rascal.«
Nils Jensen / Buchkultur, Vienna

»[Jägersberg’s] punchlines have something so sublimely casual to them, as though the comedy were springing forth organically from the depicted events, or rather, more frequently, from the language.«
