"I had the car prousted."
"Yes?"
"The way they build a stretch is this. They take a vehicle`s base unit and cut it in half with a huge throbbing buzz-saw device. Then they add a segment to lengthen the chassis by ten, eleven, twelve feet. Whatever desired dimension. Twenty-two feet if you like. While they were doing this to my car, I sent word that they had to proust it, cork-line it against street-noise."
"That`s lovely actually. I love that."
Soeben 2 Hopfenstauden ersteigert. Und das vermutlich passende Buch: "Der Garten für intelligente Faule". Letzteres gab den Ausschlag.
Seine logische Fortsetzung nahm der Wohnungsbau in der DDR. Mit der Siedlung Hennigsdorf-Nord entstand ein „sozialistischer“ Stadtteil, dessen Wohnungen der Dramatiker Heiner Müller einmal grobschlächtig als „Fickzellen mit Fernheizung“ beschrieb. Dessen ungeachtet waren viele Familien damals froh, eine „Vollkomfort-Wohnung“ mit Zentralheizung und warmem Wasser zu erhalten. Heute ist der größte Teil der Siedlung saniert und dadurch sehr wohnlich geworden.

Keine Ahnung, wer Chuck Klosterman ist. Aber die Buchkritik habe ich sehr gerne gelesen. Könnte ich öfter vertragen, solche Buchkritiken. Hier ein kleiner Ausschnitt:
Klosterman is, quite simply and almost literally, an ass. His soft, saggy face bears a disturbing resemblance to a 50-year-old man’s failing, hairless back end. His tiny, red mouth is a sphincter twisting to a pained close 40 seconds after taking a brutal pounding from Peter North. To round it out, he has a mop of ironically uncombed, dyed-yellow hair and thick-rimmed glasses that look like they were placed on the ass as a frat prank, like a wig and sunglasses thrown on an old jack-o-lantern.
All of which might lend Klosterman some pathos if he didn’t brag so much about his heterosexual conquests and quasi-cynical manipulation of scores of alleged girlfriends. More disturbing are his obsessions with teen and pre-teen pop culture, as exemplified by a creepy essay on Saved by the Bell.
Turning again to his dust-jacket photo, one sees the Chuck Klosterman saggy ass-head attached to a torso wearing a loose, white t-shirt–a t-shirt that looks suspiciously as if it had been stretched in a struggle. I would bet that when that picture was taken, Klosterman was wearing nothing other than that stretched, white t-shirt…and perhaps a pair of black socks.
In other words, he looks like a sex offender. And sentences like "I can’t watch a minute of professional soccer without feeling like I’m looking at a playground of desperate, depressed fourth-graders…"–or "When I say ‘my guys,’ I am referring to a collection of scrappy, rag-tag, mostly unremarkable fourth- and fifth-graders…"–don’t help.
Coming off as a sex offender is one thing. But Klosterman is worse than that: He’s a one-man prose polluter, a living WMD employing the dummy ass-head as a delivery system. And I will forever hate this ass-creature for the pain and suffering he has caused me.
