So komisch ist selten über den Schulalltag gesprochen worden: Comedian Herr Schröder feiert seine Schüler für ihre sprachliche Kreativität, wenn sie ihn als "Korrekturensohn" oder "Kommaficker" verhöhnen. Beleidigungen auf dem Schulhof findet er völlig in Ordnung - solange sie im dreihebigen Jambus erfolgen. Und Metaphern wie "Opferabo" und "Eckenkind" wecken in ihm den Stolz des begeisterten Germanisten. Johannes Schröder war selbst 12 Jahre lang Deutschlehrer, hat seine Schüler mit Gedichtinterpretationen gequält und dabei täglich tapfer die Sinnfrage unterdrückt.

Le due sorelle Williamson, Penny e Josephine, sono nell'ordine: veterane della Resistenza francese, ottime ballerine di foxtrot, grandi bestemmiatrici sempre pronte a bere un Martini ben fatto, e - ma è solo un dettaglio - ultranovantenni.

Okano, a convenience store employee with a troubled past, is but one of the many unforgettable characters found in this collection of four stories.
