"""Gerhard Roth's Hell Is Empty - And All the Devils Are Here! appears at a time of confusing social climate change, a time of dissolving structures, the existence of which was sometimes viewed as a law of nature. The structures always dissolve and you adapt or move away. Amazingly, Venice is a city that reflects this change in a microscopic way. [...] Gerhard Roth describes aspects of this change in the fate of his protagonist Lanz. The existential pain, the inability of people to communicate with each other without lying, doesn't just bother him. ""Life is over people's heads,"" said Emil Lanz' mother, an osteopath, about her patients. Lanz's dealings with his wife Alma and his environment seem determined by speechlessness and strangeness."" -Almut Oetjen, Belletristik-Couch ""If Venice actually sank one day [...], a rough plan of the vanished cluster of islands could be drawn up with the help of Roth's almost cartographically based Venice novels."" -Profil ""A mixture of amazing coincidences, tourist interest and criminal mystery."" -Oberösterreichisches Volksblatt ""One of the greatest pleasures of the moment is to walk through Venice and see the cruel and beautiful in these three books."" -Kurier"
