Accompanier

Accompanier

A crazy trip between life and death

Everything goes wrong in Red‘s life, even the attempt to end it. Instead of peace, there is chaos. For Red is stuck with Joe, the accompanier. And Red wants to get rid of him – whether he is real or just imaginary! Yet it is not so easy, for Joe has a mission. He wants to explain the meaning of life to Red and has some rather strange methods for doing so…

A peculiar novel, about an outsider and his unusual companion, where Tankred Lerch creates a mix of earnestness and shrill humor.

“I’m going to keep you a little while longer,” I tell Joe.
“That’s great,” he laughs.
“Are you glad to stay with me a little longer?”
“Yes, but I think it’s hilarious that you think it’s your decision whether or not I stay.”
