»Above all, with this small, yet luckily very visible novel, Christoph Poschenrieder succeeds in envisioning a writer who deserves to be snatched from relative invisibility.«
Kristina Maidt-Zinke / Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich

»The novel performs a cheeky bow before the art of procrastination, or postpone-itis.«
Kester Schlenz / Stern, Hamburg

»The 55-year-old Munich writer portrays his antihero as playful and clever, in excellent, cheeky prose, supported by comprehensive research which Poschenrieder deftly interweaves.«
Günter Keil / Abendzeitung München, Munich

»Perhaps the novel really does exist, and Meyrink has sought out Poschenrieder as a medium, and the aforementioned novel is called The Invisible Novel. Who knows?«
Sven Hanuschek, Münchner Feuilleton
