How I came to write books in German
Every cat lover has gone through this:
Your beloved cat dies, and you grieve – maybe you even cry, and you excuse yourself to friends – “I’m so silly – she was only a pet.”
But was she just a pet? Or was she a deep, complex individual creature like we are?
Do cats think, feel, have free will as we do? Do they have souls as deep as ours? Do they love us back?
And while we’re at it – do we humans have a soul? What is a soul?
These are the questions I ask in this book of essays, stories and thoughts about love, life, the soul and cats.
From Planet America to
America Without the Bullshit
“Do Cats Have Souls” is really three books in one, all interwoven:
– A thoughtful essay about the human soul;
– A personal essay about cats and their souls,
and, just because I like cats,
– 12 cat tales, from the legends of Bastet and Muhammed’s cat to a cat horror tale and a cat murder mystery; from a cat’s Christmas present to a cat’s struggle to make sense of life, not to mention love stories that never would have happened, had it not been for cats.

Driving Through the Dark Ages
My first book – the one I dreamed of writing since I was a kid, the real reason I came to Germany and studied the literature of the Middle Ages:
For a year I drove around Germany in search of 9 medieval heroes – I slept where they slept, I interviewed experts to find out how they lived. Then I wrote a book about my journey: Die Nibelungenreise.

The American Provocateur
Every week for 2 years I provoked, prodded and parodied the Germans for their politically-correct and at the same time anti-American thinking in Germany’s leading newsweekly “Die Zeit” (online version) – until the woke outrage became too much for the middle-class-leftist flagship and I was canceled. On the one hand, a badge of honor, on the other, I still miss jousting with the readers every week. Oh, and let me just say it: All the terrible conservative things I said about Putin? Turned out to be true, didn’t they?
