** PRAISE FOR WERNER HERZOG ** Herzog is in a category of one. You can't believe that a person like this stalks the earth. A complete original -- Marina Hyde Visionary * New Statesman * Herzog really is a kind of genius * Spectator * A singular poet * Big Issue * Werner Herzog has always seemed to be something more than human * Irish Times * Michael Hofmann’s sparkling and inventive translation from the original German…somehow makes Herzog more Herzog in tone * Guardian * Like the strange, enchanting films for which he is best known, Herzog’s seventh book defies the usual conventions of structure, narrative arc and the delineation of fact from fiction, even as it addresses the very subject of truth … It’s like listening to a fireside monologue from an entertaining uncle … Compelling … A collection of uniquely Herzogian mindfarts … Absurd, profound or an ecstatically truthful mix of the two -- Farrah Jarral * Guardian *
