Ein Kolportageroman, der mit spöttischer Ironie und abgründigem Hintersinn eine filmreife Liebesverwicklung im akademischen Milieu einer süddeutschen Kleinstadt beschreibt. Nomina Nominanda jagt ihre Figuren im ersten Teil durch eine Achterbahn der Gefühle, um sie im zweiten Teil alle auf einen ungewöhnlichen Läuterungspfad zu schicken, "damit aus ihnen bessere Menschen werden können". Das Ende ist phantastisch. Ähnlichkeiten mit real existierenden Stücken der klassischen Bühnenliteratur sind rein zufällig und nicht beabsichtigt, tragen aber ebenso wie Versatzstücke aus Tiefenpsychologie und Mythologie dazu bei, dass die schwere Kost zu einem leicht verdaulichen Lesevergnügen wird. Als Zuglektüre genauso gut geeignet wie für die Hängematte oder den Strand.

Ik ben tot over mijn oren verliefd op hem en dol op zijn dochter.

We zijn namelijk nog wel vrienden, en vrienden laten elkaar niet in hun eentje doen alsof.Brendan.Laura Collins is wel de laatste vrouw aan wie ik hoor te denken om seks mee te hebben; op de achterbank van mijn auto, in het bos achter het huis van mijn schoonouders, of in een hotelkamer waar we een klein, krakend bed delen.Ik heb een vaste, stabiele invloed nodig voor mijn dochter, geen avontuurtje met een wilde, te jonge, te impulsieve roodharige vrouw.
