Its original German title is Grieche sucht Griechin , which means Greek man seeks Greek woman . It tells the story of a shy, middle aged book keeping assistant, who becomes popular and successful overnight when he decides to get married. Reception Kurt Vonnegut reviewed the book for The New York Times in 1965. Vonnegut compared D rrenmatt s stories to Swiss clockworks, and wrote that the author is a fascinating, endearing maker of clocks. He chooses to write this way, invented this way of writing. The puzzle is He seems to be attacking something brilliantly, but what is it? Vonnegut wrote His jokes are Carl Jung Jungian jokes, it seems to me private, Kraut , mythological. And, while he seems to protest against the absurdities of modern times, he doesn t care enough about them to learn much about them. What we have here is an elegant exploration of a Jungian dream. ref Cite web last Vonnegut first Kurt authorlink Kurt Vonnegut date 1965 06 13 url http www.nytimes.com books 97 09 28 lifetimes vonnegut greek.html title Everything Goes Like Clockwork work The New York Times accessdate 2012 03 05 ref See also 1955 in literature Swiss literature References reflist Friedrich D rrenmatt Category 1955 novels Category German language novels Category Swiss novels Category Novels by Friedrich D rrenmatt 1950s novel stub de Grieche sucht Griechin Roman ... more details
