«Viereckige Bonsai-Katzen» is Alex Boese's essay on modern myths, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch in paperback (348 pages, in German).
A collection of hoaxes, urban legends and contemporary myths: from cats trapped in square jars to diamonds made from human ashes or the rumour that Microsoft wanted to buy the Catholic Church. Alex Boese reviews these cases and shows the keys to distinguishing truth from falsehood.
Original title: «Hippo Eats Dwarf: A Field Guide to Hoaxes and Other B.S.» (2006); German translation by Christoph Bausum and Karola Bausum, published in 2011.
For the curious and sceptical, interested in popular culture, urban legends and popular science.
