He immediately attaches to people, wherever he comes. And they love him instantly. Despite that, the main character of The House is essentially alone. His entire life is a continuous movement, physically as well as mentally. He wins the world but is not afraid to lose it, time and again. New encounters and possibilities appear on his way. He searches for them, he attracts them. He dissolves in it. And ... he writes about it with a lot of tongue-in-cheek humour, in a way you cannot put the book aside, before you"ve finished reading it. The House not only is a beautiful pastiche of the sixties, seventies, eighties and early nineties, it also is a unique and honest document of a man, who dares to undress himself in front of the reader. That his pen is polished with humour, is one of the great virtues of this book.
