HILARITY OF DEATH

by Klaus Kinast, Ines Hanl (Editor)

Overview

The narrative in Klaus P. Kinast's coming-of-age stories in post-war Germany sheds light on the emotional, intellectual, and physical challenges of children of that era. While painting a detailed backdrop of everyday life, the stories are filled with parables and enchanting allegories, originating from the mind of a very imaginative, thoughtful young boy.
Blessed by benign adult negligence during the rebuilding efforts after WW2 and embedded into the complex social structure of a small farming community, the stories' main character enjoys the intensity of minute yet deeply sensual details of a boyhood far removed from adult supervision.
It's the 'Little Prince' meets 'Huckleberry Finn' in adventures somewhat reminiscent of the character and mores of Wilhelm Busch.
