Full Description
Previously published in German by Ropol Press, Roehner is a delightfully detailed field guide to the every day tasks of living in an apartment - making coffee, watering plants, and maintaining order and a careful balance with neighbors - until that order is upset. Max Baitinger's dry humor and precise drawings deftly personify his uber persnickety protagonist, simply referred to as P., whose regimented life is disrupted by the arrival of Roehner, an unloved houseguest, who imposes upon his psyche and offsets the careful balance with his gregarious, omnipresent neighbor. Devious tricks and hilarious imaginations of Roehner's elimination take shape, from painstakingly making up Roehner's guestroom and then piercing the air mattress to cause a slow leak - to visions of an exploding coffee pot tearing off Roehner's face. Baitinger has three books published in German and Roehner is his first English language publication.
