'Große Fragen ist ein modernes literarisches Wunder: wagemutig wie Werke von Orwell oder Beckett, voller absurdem Humor und Tragisch-Wunderbarem.' Joe Meno Die großen Fragen der Menschheit, neu verhandelt von kleinen Philosophen: Warum sind wir hier? Hat unsere Existenz einen Sinn? Und falls ja, haben wir eine Möglichkeit, ihn zu erkennen? Geht es um Liebe? Was aber ist dann stärker – die Liebe oder der Tod? Was ist der Tod? Und was kommt danach? Auf einer Wiese steht eine Hütte, in der ein geistig behinderter Junge bei seiner Großmutter lebt. Ein Flugzeug überfliegt diese Wiese und wirft eine Bombe ab, die nicht explodiert. Wenig später stürzt das Flugzeug in die Hütte. Eine Gruppe Vögel findet den Blindgänger und beobachtet den Absturz. Die Vögel erleben den Einbruch des Unerklärlichen in ihre kleine Welt – und stehen unvermittelt vor genau den großen Fragen, die die Menschheit von jeher beschäftigen. Als der Blindgänger explodiert, der Pilot aus dem Cockpit seines Flugzeugs klettert und der geistig behinderte Junge aus den Trümmern der Hütte in die Welt hinaustritt, gerät eine Lawine von dramatischen Ereignissen ins Rollen, die die Vögel zwingt, Antworten zu finden.

A wise and funny collection of modern-day parables about the ties between humans and their gods Imagine you are Poseidon at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The oceans are dying and sailors have long since stopped paying tribute. They just don't need you anymore. What do you do? Perhaps, seeking answers, you go exploring. Maybe you end up in Wisconsin and discover the pleasures of the iced latte. And then, perhaps, everything goes wrong. Anders Nilsen, the author of Big Questions and Don't Go Where I Can't Follow, explores questions like these in his newest work, a darkly funny meditation on religion and faith with a modern twist. Rage of Poseidon brings all the philosophical depth of Nilsen's earlier work to bear on contemporary society, asking how a twenty-first-century child might respond to being sacrificed on a mountaintop, and probing the role gods like Venus and Bacchus might have in the world of today. Nilsen works in a unique style for these short stories, distilling individual moments in black silhouette on a spare white background. Above all, though, he immerses us seamlessly in a world where gods and humans are more alike than not, forcing us to recognize the humor in our (and their) desperation. Rage of Poseidon is devastating, insightful, and beautifully hewn; it's a wry triumph in an all-new style from a masterful artist.
