Stefan Wallner runs an agricultural machinery company and feels deceived, persecuted, kicked out by his employees. His son Costin has no idea about his father’s growing paranoia. But what happens to Stefan Wallner in his head, is reality for Costin. He is cast as a pop star and fails. Now he appears on talkshows and reality TV. When Wendy, Costin’s illegitimate daughter finally meets him, there is little time left to them. A novel about three generations, about business, about the life of a musician and the fate of a woman. And a novel addressing the question of whether family history can be written as it really happened.
