They do exist: people who can keep things tidy. You can recognize them by their alphabetically sorted spice racks and meticulously folded dish towels. The rest of humanity bravely fights against this – with varying degrees of success. Because life has more important things to offer than filing systems. In his new book, Manfred Suttinger, master of the short story, celebrates cultivated disorder as an art of living. Why bother with decluttering guides and minimalism zealots when a charming chaos is so much more authentic? In witty and humorous short stories, he shows that disorder isn't a flaw, but rather an attitude – a charming form of resistance against the obsession with perfection and to-do lists. Because those who want to enjoy life should learn to smile serenely at the dust. Tidying up? Sure. Maybe tomorrow.
