A special thanks! goes to Benjamin Betka. While working on this book, two important and life-changing things happened to me – in the summer, our little daughter Janna was born … she ’ s our cute little c linamen , the tiny little thing that makes life swerve into unforeseen directions. And in the early morning hours of Christmas Eve, my beloved little brother Frank died, after more than 4 years of living u nder the shadow of an incurable, malign brain tumour. I can only now, in ret- rospect, see how brave he had been all those years. Frank now has gone farther than the farthest place, and my only hope is that this turns out to be the closest place as well. It is to Janna, and to the loving memory of Frank Herzogenrath that I dedicate this book.
