Rheinufer; “Arche Noah” von Liesel Metten

“… and God-fearing and I’ve already desribed him as a hysterical rogue with a drink problem? The two views aren’t entirely incompatible. Put it this way: Noah was pretty bad, but you should have seen the others. It came as little surprise to us that God decided to wipe the slate clean; the only puzzle was that he chose to preserve anything at all of this species whose creation did not reflect particularly well on its creator.” (Julian Barnes)
