Life is complicated, and questions and decisions lurk everywhere. Mareice Kaiser is the worst decision-maker in the world and therefore the best advisor. In a laconic tone, she talks about her own stumbling and getting up and sometimes about staying down. Because she loves lying down! Some questions answer themselves. Mareice Kaiser answers all the others in “Ich weiß es doch auch nicht”. This new uncertainty is good for you and is better than any TikTok life coach. It's about the pimple on your nose before the big date and the right time to give notice. About feminism, of course. But also about how to carry on living when your child dies. This humorous look at our vulnerabilities is complemented by Slinga's unique illustrations. A book like a good friend.
