'S Wiesenhendl (1968)
Character: Dienstmann
The Munich Oktoberfest, the 'Wiesn', is in the eyes of many strangers a fair of oddities, the symbol of an abstruse way of life in general. This is how the author sees this annual hustle and bustle and weaves an equally bizarre event around it, which focuses on the love of a Munich exterminator for the daughter of a Saxon high school teacher. He equips the story with a monstrous inventory of secondary characters, who provide plenty of linguistic and social misunderstandings.
