Über das Buch
"Loneliness is just a word," she whispered almost inaudibly as she let go of my hand and lowered her head, but I heard it.
Theo Baldauf lives in an assisted living facility in Vienna. He is 66 years old and was born with Down syndrome. He makes his day by making key chains in an assisted workshop. But his purpose is the subway. Equipped with a cap and loudspeaker (two toilet paper rolls), he is the actual stationmaster of the Längenfeldgasse station. Always in tow is his imaginary friend James Bond. Theo couldn't complain if it weren't for his Lisi …
"Der Selbstfahrer" describes the world from Mr. Baldauf's point of view. Funny incidents and whimsicalities meet sensitive passages to think about and think along.
The theme music for the book was composed by the author and made available for you on youtube.
