Description In Favor Of Books Agnes
Es ist ein schmales Bändchen, mit dem der Schweizer Autor Peter Stamm sein Debüt als Schriftsteller gibt. Vordergründig erzählt er eine wunderbare Liebesgeschichte zwischen einer amerikanischen Physikstudentin und einem jungen Journalisten, der Nachforschungen zu seinem Buch über Eisenbahnen betreibt.Doch glückliche Liebesgeschichten sind nicht interessant, "denn Glück macht keine guten Geschichten" meint Agnes, und so ermuntert sie ihren Freund, eine Erzählung über sie und ihre Liebe zu erfinden. Es geht nicht gut aus, denn immer mehr greift die erfundene Handlung in ihre Realität ein und bald verschwimmt für die beiden die Grenze zwischen Fiktion und Wirklichkeit.
Peter Stamm hat in seinem ersten Roman Agnes das gar nicht so leichte Kunststück fertiggebracht, einen gehaltvollen Inhalt durchsichtig schillernd und schwebend leicht wie eine Seifenblase zu verpacken -- sehr zur Freude seiner Leser. --Manuela Haselberger

UGHH!awesome story.. writer walks you through the book with such skill that amazed me.. the details and the way agnes reacts to stuff was exactly the way a woman would.. that was really interesting for me.. but the ending.. gosh i hated that ending.. like.. noooo u guys belong together.. after everything they've been through.. i long for happy endings..
I dont Really know if i like this Book or Not. I liked the Story itself, te Story was amazing but i myself wasnt Able to Cope with the Charakters. Both of them were just Really weird And i could have slapped them for what they did sometimes. I also didnt like how the Novel ends; Nobody Knows if she actually dies or Not, which Bothers me alot. But the Plot of this Book is Really interesting And encourages to Think about the relationship of the Main Charakters And what the Story they wrote in
How do you write a review of a book you spent less than two hours with? Well, I don't know.The idea sounded wonderful: A nameless writer and a student called Agnes, fall in love and one day, Agnes asks her lover to write a portrait about her, which soon turns into a story about their relationship. Eventually, however, the story takes over and both the nameless writer and Agnes act accordingly to the story, until story and reality blur. That was whas my German prof promised me, and I was excited!

"But it's just a story ...You wanted me to write it that way." I said, "we wrote it together."Yes, Agnes had wanted her lover to write her life story, but, until now she had not warned him how stories can influence her thinking and behaviour. The novel's opening sentences suggest that much in very short blunt sentences: "Agnes is dead. Killed by a story. All that's left of her now is this story." He, the nameless narrator, a Swiss author staying in Chicago for research for a glossy book on
