Katharina Rilling ● Lovely King Walter

Description

His fiancée, whom he has never touched. They have been writing to each other for months. Night after night. Day after day. She is close to him on the screen; with her, he will start anew. As a lover, as a provider, as a man who counts. Finally, she wants to come to him – soon. He prepares himself. In the remote Kurhotel Valcruna, he waits for her arrival. Time blurs between mountain peaks and dead zones, red wine and Viagra, new acquaintances and old loneliness. Walter's waiting becomes an intoxication. Mishaps accumulate. And doubts grow loud: about the woman, about himself, about his own perception. Is she really coming? Is she really? But the waiting is only the beginning.
