Fischer, page 9:Das wäre kein Nachteil für eine Geschichte, sondern eher ein Vorteil; denn Geschichten müssen vergangen sein, und je vergangener, könnte man sagen, desto besser für sie in ihrer Eigenschaft als Geschichten und für den Erzähler, den raunenden Beschwörer des Imperfekts.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
