«Das Licht brennt ein Loch in den Tag» is the novel by Wilhelm Genazino, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch in paperback (125 pages, in German).
A man worried about his memory lapses devises a singular method: he distributes his memories among his friends, told orally or in writing, so that if he ever forgets them, they can give them back by recounting them. Amid everyday observations and episodes from the past, Genazino reflects on memory, friendship and identity.
The work was originally published in 1996; this edition belongs to the rororo Taschenbücher collection (no. 22694) from Rowohlt.
For readers of contemporary German fiction who appreciate poetic prose and reflections on memory and everyday life.
