Reception
Critical response
Gisela von Wysocki of Die Zeit compared the way of writing, with no clear distinction between journalism and fiction, to works by V. S. Naipaul, Bruce Chatwin and Hubert Fichte. She wrote that Atlas of an Anxious Man is a challenging book to read, partially because of the quick changes of location, but also because of the "immaculately worked" and "completely humour free" linguistic style. Wysocki wrote: "A splendid accomplishment, but also a problematic seductive pact. Because not even masterpieces are protected from monotony."[2]
