The German Social System - have you ever asked yourself how it works? Here is the nutshell version to give you a basic understanding of it without you having to study it for years. It is written in plain English, and thus not a scientific publication. It is not the goal of this book to argue about details or educate you about delicate manipulations of a complex system. It is simply to give you a general idea about what the German Social System is about, where it came from, and how it works.

A man mysteriously disappears in a lighthouse, as if dissolved by light, leaving behind a notebook filled with bizarre claims of a curse and a series of drawings entitled 'The Death of the Jubilant Child.' The investigation into the disappearance unearths hidden connections between the disappeared man, Helene and the strange figure of the Man With The Forks In His Fingers. Fifteen years later, the discovery of the detective's copy of the notebook by Helene's daughter seems to set in motion a repetition of the events of the past.Circuitously structured and intensely lyrical, The Autodidacts explores the mythos of friendship, the necessity of failure, the duty of imagination, and the dreams of working class lives demanding to be beautiful. It is a prayer in denial of its heresy, a metafictional-roman-a-clef trying to maintain its concealment, and an attempt to love that shows its workings out in the margins of its construction.
