Michael Altinger: The Last Cup of Testosterone

We have mastered history brilliantly. And we toast to that, with non-alcoholic Augustiner during yoga, bake our own sourdough bread after an ice bath, and promise our wives, almost credibly, that their future will be a fairer one. Including us. We have just found the right mindset for us in downward dog, when a world situation comes along that cries out for yesterday again: for lowered combustion engines, for ice-cold con artists, for big pants and thin brains, and old truths in new media. Who is supposed to protect us from this? Us, perhaps? How is that supposed to work? Testosterone is the cause, but also the solution! There isn't much of it left. Altinger has it. In a cup. The last one.

"Temperamental, spontaneous, lively, quick-witted, sharp-witted, likeable, and in any case unmistakable – simply unique" (Augsburger Allgemeine)
