About the Book
This book contains seven dialogues on the subject of art. Two residents of a retirement home discuss, among other things, wether art has reached its end and the state of Western culture. Mr B has the obsessive idea that art and art history have come to an end world-wide. Only religions could save them. Mr A is more openminded that Mr B. But he also has his nightmares and suffrs from isolation. Both are addicted to their daily discussions, which sometimes escalate into arguments and then end in reconciliation. Their conversations oscillate between seriousness and fun, between exaggeration and irony, between play and pure entertainment, between Plato and Heidegger, between Karl Valentin and current, meaningless politicians, between TV talk shows, adult education course topics and regulars’ table gossip. We accompany the two gentlemen for seven days, then it’s over. A slice of time. A slice of life. A slice of reality.
