The 1970s in the provinces: women in aprons. The joint behind the barn. The best friend dies drunk. With a blood alcohol level of 4.2, the cloud is blowing. In A gadda da vida, the Tenne, the small town disco, is booming. The inspector drives up the car. In bed with BRAVO and Oswald Kolle. The Beatles went their separate ways, and only the music remained. A novel about a youth in the German provinces with US-soldiers, when television became colorful and the outlook remained gray.
