Girls' calligraphy exercise

Meer over het boek

In his notebook, the author and journalist Dietmar Dath offers ten personal meditations, with protagonists including a weasel, Dath's daughter, his father and his friend Mareike. The notebook closes with this recognition: "Not finishing flourishes in art. It is a kind of succeeding. Failure does not come into it. That is because art is there to invent goals, but not to reach them. An exhibition opening is celebrated and talked about. But its end is passed over in silence."
