Wolkenbruch’s Reckless Rendez-Vous with the Seductive Spy
Published by Diogenes as Wolkenbruchs waghalsiges Stelldichein mit der Spionin
Original Title: Wolkenbruchs waghalsiges Stelldichein mit der Spionin

Motti is back – this time to save the world.
Masel tov!

Motti fights evil, fake news, his mame – and his weakness for shiksas.

After bestselling Wolkenbruch's Weird and Wonderful Journey into the Arms of a Shiksa comes the follow up novel – ludicrous, surprising, provocative and highly topical.

After parting ways with his devoutly Jewish family, Motti Wolkenbruch is taken in by others who share a similar fate. But it turns out that they have far more than mutual support in mind: they are striving for world domination. Albeit without any success.
Things finally get going once Motti takes control. But a group of Nazis have the same goal – and a dangerously attractive spy.

Pressezitate

Martina Läubli
NZZ am Sonntag, Zurich

»By taking conspiracy theories to their absurd lengths, Meyer makes it clear how mendacious they are – so far-fetched that the only possible response is laughter. [...] A pleasure to read.«

Hansruedi Kugler
Luzerner Zeitung

»Thomas Meyer’s strident satire novel is merely the continuation of the real insanity of digital comment culture.«

Claudia Senn
Annabelle, Zurich

»And so Meyer reaches for the only weapon remaining to him against stupidity and ignorance: the razor-sharp sword of black humour.«

Felix Münger
srf.ch

»The world as a monstrous grotesque, the insanity that has long since become part of our present-day lives flashing up in lurid colours.«

Philippe Zweifel
Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich

»The bestseller sequel is a bold step away from part one: instead of counting on Swiss local colour and romcom-style charm, Meyer goes for fast-paced action.«

Janina Fleischer
Leipziger Volkszeitung

»Meyer’s use of the grotesque creates an entertaining work. Decorum is ignored, allowing shamelessness to shine through. A great comedy.«

3sat, Mayence

»Thomas Meyer is the shooting star of the Swiss literary world.«

Die Presse, Vienna

»Anyone hoping for a simple follow-up to Mordecai ›Motti‹ Wolkenbruch’s adventures in love will be disappointed by Wolkenbruch’s Reckless Rendez-Vous with the Seductive Spy – and all the better for it!«

Jochanan Shelliem
Deutschlandfunk Kultur, Berlin

»The author takes unmistakable pleasure in deriding the postwar Nazis for their new ›Führer‹ and new ›Lebensborn‹ programme.«

Dorothee Meyer-Kahrweg
HR2 Kultur, Frankfurt

»It’s actually a wonderful satire on the prejudices against Jews and the ›Jewish world conspiracy‹. [. . .] Unfortunately it’s also a satire with a very serious background, as we saw from the attack in Halle.«

Manuel Müller
Neue Zürcher Zeitung

»Scintillating in numerous sections. Prejudices crumble to the ground, leaving only a pitiful heap.«

Alexia Weiss
Wiener Zeitung, Vienna

»This novel couldn’t be more topical. And perhaps that’s why Thomas Meyer’s wit comes across so deftly.«

Erich C. Setzwein
Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich

»It’s a wild ride with Thomas Meyer.«

Alexia Weiss
Wiener Zeitung, Vienna

»It almost makes you want to cry out: Now that’s Jewish humour!«

Jochen Kürten
Deutsche Welle, Bonn

»Meyer’s debut novel examines traditional Jewish values in a delightfully witty way, plays with prejudices and combines wordplay with situation comedy.«

Thomas Strässle
SRF Literaturclub, Zurich

»He has good ideas, and refers to contemporary cases.«

Antonia Löffler
Ö1, Vienna

»Meyer has written a sharp, highly-charged and intelligent book. He trusts the reader to understand his wicked humour.«

Anke Mersmann
Rhein-Zeitung, Koblenz

»It sounds – and is – absurd, but it abounds with cunning wit and black, at times brutal, humour.«
