Martin Mosebach and the painter Peter Schermuly (1927–2007) were close friends for over 35 years. During this time, Schermuly painted the writer repeatedly. The Büchner Prize winner recounts these extraordinary encounters, which led to intense discussions about painting, perception, and artistic practice. The book takes the reader into Schermuly's world of images, explores the correspondences in the work of the two friends, and shows how Mosebach transformed from a former law student into a renowned writer.
