Patrick Salmen: Absurdly witty dialogues and pointed observations on the everyday life of the modern city dweller and urban self-optimizer.
His latest book combines stories, advice parodies, and absurdist short dramas with observations about the modern urbanite in search of a balance between self-actualization and starting a family, professional success and mindfulness, and joie de vivre and self-optimization. Humor is when you die anyway! In his usual sarcastic and self-deprecating manner, the Dortmund author and slam poet tells of disoriented young fathers, avocado junkies in superfood mania, model couples with wall tattoos and home doormats, as well as the contrast between dreary reality and Instagram aesthetics. "Meet Two Dreams. Both burst" describes a lifestyle somewhere between romance and misanthropy.
