What does a poor bastard do when he inherits a million? Daniel Dorner from Berlin, 35, a squatter, has to decide what to do with all the money that his American uncle has so unexpectedly bequeathed to him.


To do so, he travels to the USA, "looks around" - and struggles with himself day after day in the Waldseehaus and the property he has been given: torn between his ideal of social justice and his possibly rosy future.


Peter Blickle tells of the contradictory nature of all of us with great wit and humor and confronts us with the undeniable fact that in morally precarious situations we (almost) all tend to decide in our own favor. "The Inheritance" is a gripping novel, an ethical challenge in matters of should, have or be. For potential heirs and potential non-heirs alike, a test of Theodor Fontane's sarcastically inverted maxim: "Morality is good, but inheritance is better".


"Peter Blickle's observations are precise, his narrative style concise - and surprisingly, he opens up a rich spectrum of life possibilities."
Neue Zürcher Zeitung
