Fawning reviews are fawning reviews

Despite the, well, you know. Hey, plagiarism was gestern (yesterday). Today they call it mixing.

The publication last month of her novel about a 16-year-old exploring Berlin’s drug and club scene after the death of her mother, called “Axolotl Roadkill,” was heralded far and wide in German newspapers and magazines as a tremendous debut, particularly for such a young author. The book shot to No. 5 this week on the magazine Spiegel’s hardcover best-seller list.

One response

  1. Cool. The new Christiane F. of Deutschland. Well, Bahnhof am Zoo is no longer the center of depravity that it used to be (although it’s still pretty run-down and dirty), what with die Wende and all that.

    The new Christiane F, it seems, is just a club-goer and probably snorts heroin for fun and sleeps with guys for free. I think her Dad’s a prof, for chrissakes. Jeez, where have all the authentic under-age, heroin-addicted hookers gone? Sad.
