Flash forward to the present. Five billionaires plot to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, by hiring the most expensive killer in the world.

Am 19. April 2005 wurde Joseph Ratzinger zu Benedikt XVI. gewählt. »Wir sind Papst!« verkündete am Tag darauf der Boulevard. Und bündelte darin bei aller Übergeschnapptheit doch die Hauptaspekte, unter denen das neue Kirchenoberhaupt später in Erscheinung treten würde: als Deutscher und als Popstar, bis hin zum Bravo-Poster. Was in der öffentlichen Repräsentation dagegen weitgehend ausgespart blieb, war der Dogmatiker und Theologe Ratzinger. In die so entstehende ›Leerstelle‹ von außen her einzudringen, sprich: die Variablen der Ratzinger-Funktion zu füllen, ist das Experiment des vorliegenden Bandes.

This is the story of Fabio, of his fears and his oversights; of his distrust of adults, a distrust that shares and grows in the dialogue with “Malicia”, his old neighbor. Neither Fabio nor his father wants the buses that he drives by ceases to be temporary; if the stop being temporary, Fabio could not accompany him in the tours, collect the money and give the change back while his father talks to him about the places they travel, about the people who ride the bus, and about bogotá. A stable character, a story of people that survive in a difficult city a few times told. Accompanied by a surprising and committed graphic story of the contemporary Bogotá

»›Es ist schön, diese Gegend zu verlassen‹, meint der Erzähler am Ende. Die ›Gegend‹, das ist das Land zwischen Meßkirch und Rast, zwischen der Stadt, die so berühmte Kinder wie den Philosophen Heidegger und das Bravo-Girl des Jahres 1971 die Ihren nennen darf, und dem Dorf, aus dem der Erzähler einst aufs Gymnasium nach Meßkirch geschickt wurde. Es ist ein Landstrich ohne Namen: ›Die Geographen sagen: oberes Ablachtal. Sie sind nicht ›hier‹ gewesen. Sie verteilen ihre Namen von der Karte aus. Die Bewohner von ›hier‹ wissen nicht, wo das obere Ablachtal ist.‹ Die wahren Namen der Gegend lauten Haarschneider Jakob, Pfarrer Haselmeier, Sauschneider Naze, Fräulein Hermle – und immer wieder Heidegger, wobei der Martin, von dem die Leute sagen, daß er ›irrsinnig g’scheit und unheimlich berühmt‹ war, nur einer von etlichen ist, die genauere Erwähnung finden. Zu ihnen, den Menschen zwischen Meßkirch und Rast, gehört auch Arnold Stadler, der mit dem Roman seiner Kindheit zugleich eine andere Art von oberschwäbischer Heimatkunde verfaßt hat.« »Karl-Markus Gauß, Neue Zürcher Zeitung«
