    Summary

    Two liars attempt to out-lie each other through letters while pondering questions such as : are words a way or an hindrance to convey meaning ?
    Include:
    -Macht quest to understand humans through a thirty-year long interview with his acquired translator
    -Glück explaining his own cynical brand of human understanding which may not be representative of actual humanity
    -Macht referring to feelings he does not feel but wish to feel and are the closest approximation of what he actually feel (though whether he feels even a hint of them is unclear even to him)
    -Glück using truth as a mass weapon and his fair share of lies
    -Macht brand of truth and lie resembling so closely one another they are undistinguishable to everybody
    -a game of truth and lie taken to the next level
    -the oddest dynamic I ever read about
    -Lektüre assumptions
    -more words unsaid that actually written, and not all intended
