Von der hinteren Coverseite

There's nothing moving outside. No cars. No people. No birds.

Nothing.
No one.
Anywhere.

An ordinary man wakes up on an ordinary day to find that he's the only living creature in the city . . .

'Night Work is Glavinic's masterpiece. A wonderful, big novel about the self and others, about fear, courage and the uncertain border between waking and dreaming.' Daniel Kehlmann, author of Measuring the World

Aus dem Klappentext

The radio and TV are suddenly filled with white noise, there's no newspaper, the Internet is down and no one's answering the phone.

Jonas seems to be the last living creature on the planet. But what happened? And why is he still here?

A thriller and a psychological mystery, Night Work also asks profound philosophical questions.

Just don't read it on your own.
