#FinishedReading #DanielKehlmann 's linked stories of German folk character Tyll Ulenspiegel during the Thirty Years War. Kehlmann presents it as a time of illogic, from witchfinding to politics, sometimes darkly funny but usually tragic in its results. Not a book I'll list as a favourite, but certainly an interesting read. Seems unfilmable, so intrigued to see how the creators of Dark and 1899 on Netflix handle it.
