Alexander Brener and Barbara Schurz sent me their new book, Furzende Völker.[1] On the last page I discovered that Alexander is nine years my junior, and that Barbara is nine years younger than Lauren. Leafing through the book, I learned that they met when they were exactly the same age as we were when we met nine years earlier. They repeatedly write that they fuck a lot, and they illustrate the claim with a number of vivid drawings. Unexpectedly, I was overcome by a funny feeling. Although I was happy for Alexander and Barbara, I also felt a dash of nostalgia. Frankly speaking, I was a bit jealous of Alexander, too.
