Immer is was, nie is nix

Synopsis of Immer is was, nie is nix

«Immer is was, nie is nix» is the collection of satirical stories by Dietmar Wischmeyer, published by Rowohlt Berlin in paperback (236 pages, in German).

In these stories, the author looks at German life as an astonished spectator and turns the ordinary into comic material: a trip to the green waste plant, the washing machine delivery man who loses his temper, or the wait at a sausage stand. The result is a satirical portrait of the country, with its pedestrian streets full of Asian restaurants and mattress shops.

Subtitled «Geschichten aus dem deutschen Alltag», it was published on 12 September 2023 as a first paperback edition of 236 pages.

Aimed at adult readers interested in satire and humour about everyday German life.
