The story begins with the fact that the pawnbroker applied in his room up and down, and trying to understand how all this could have happened - at his side, laid out, is his wife's body. As the story progresses, he reconstructed everything, from the first meeting until the very end, to the last detail. The word he is addressing directly to an unknown judge instance, which he wants to make himself understood, and the opposite, he justified his actions - in the end it is thus directed directly to the reader.
And when the narrator then to the smallest detail in endless (internal) monologues his story and his actions dissected to agree, then coat the reader a mix of disgust, revulsion, pity and cold incomprehension. Although the thoughts and motives are explained exactly and completely logical in itself ... understanding comes only rarely. This happened to me at least.
At the end is a very successful story, consisting of a very intelligent written, abysmal monologue.
And since I am referring to the audio book version:
Ralph Misske (actor, director, author) reads very lively and emotional. Me anyway he could convince. Sometimes he haspelt quickly and applied by the sets (but without the stress of losing), then he lowers his voice thoughtful, only to immediately aufzubrausen again ... the way he reads, really fits in well with the mood of the text a.
This makes listening very pleasant, however, has the small disadvantage that it is only partially suitable to sleep (at least, if someone wants to sleep in the same room and not quite so confident at the moment is from the story) because with increasing Situated Bracht awareness the narrator also increases the volume.
