1978/79: Nach seiner Ausbildung zum Dachdecker entflieht Gabriel der gewalttätigen Enge seines rheinischen Elternhauses, indem er - gemäß alter Handwerkertradition - auf Wanderschaft geht. Bewehrt mit Stenz und Charlie, entdeckt er das Land seiner Herkunft in all seiner Schönheit und Zerrissenheit. Sein treuer Begleiter: ein Wanderbuch, dem er nicht nur seine Stationen und Bekanntschaften, sondern auch seine tiefsten Gedanken anvertraut. Sie drehen sich um Freiheit, Sexualität, Gesellschaft, Familie und die Macht der Worte. Als Gabriel in West-Berlin strandet und in einer Kreuzberger Hausbesetzer-WG den Punk Pille kennenlernt, erfährt er zum ersten Mal in seinem Leben das Gefühl inniger Freundschaft. Oder ist es Liebe? Für ein paar Wochen scheint es, als wäre er angekommen. Doch die Walz ist noch nicht vorbei - und die Suche nach einer eigenen Sprache gerade erst am Anfang ... Nur wenigen Schreibenden gelingt es so eindrücklich, Epochen, Orte und Kulturen mit den Mitteln der Sprache zu vermessen wie Michael Roes. Sein neues Buch, das er ironisch als 'Heimatroman' bezeichnet, ist eine literarische Walz von Wertherbruch in NRW bis nach Taizé in Frankreich. Mit jedem Kilometer, den sich der Ich-Erzähler weiter von "Vaddern" und "Muddern" entfernt, werden seine Gedanken spielerischer und seine Lust, die Grenzen der eigenen Herkunft zu sprengen, größer. So skizziert der Text nicht nur eine geografische Reise, sondern auch ein Entkommen aus dem tristen Schweigen der westdeutschen Vorwende-Provinz in die gelöste Rhetorik eines freien Geistes. Am Wegesrand: die Alpen, das Meer und eben jener lebensverändernde Abstecher in die vergangene Parallelwelt der Aussteiger-Insel West-Berlin, deren anarchistischem Geist "Spunk" ein Denkmal setzt.

Nice but dissapointing
So it sometimes stays cool but if it’s under a blanket and you have your body on it at all it will get warm but the spots you don’t use will get cool sometimes. I am very disappointed in the material though because it’s like my dry skin scratched the pillow case all over which makes me question it and I don’t think I would buy again.

Great pillow, but the cooling effect depends on the cover
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
I really like this pillow overall. It’s comfortable, supportive, and feels well made. When you use it without a pillowcase, it definitely feels cool to the touch and does what it claims in terms of that initial cooling sensation. However, once you put a pillowcase on it, you can’t really feel the cooling effect anymore. I’ve tried multiple different pillowcases made from different materials, and none of them really let that cool feeling come through. That said, I still love the pillow itself. It’s comfortable and supportive enough that I’m keeping it. Just keep in mind that the cooling feature works best without a cover, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Overall, a good pillow — just manage expectations about the cooling effect once it’s covered.

Best Pillow Ever
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Best pillow ever. Although it still gets "hot", it does take longer to get "hot". I love this pillow. I was buying a new pillow almost every 3 months. Other pillows would either remain rock hard or go flat. I was concerned at first when reading the description as I though the memory foam would be big pieces. They are soft fluffy pieces. I had to remove almost half of the foam to get the pillow to what works for me. I have not had to put any filler back in. Maybe in a couple of more months I may have to put a bit more in, but it is holding it's shape and not going flat. I do fluff it every night. This helps. I am a stomach sleeper. I have bought the expensive purple pillow and hated it so much I gave it to my daughter. This QUTOOL Pillow is the best! I bought a 2 pack. Have not used the other pillow yet, but I feel I may actually go years for once without having to buy a pillow as I have the 2nd one set aside if the first one gets to a point in need replacement. I have bought Dollar Store pillows. I have bought $300 pillows. None of them even come close to this pillow and the way you can adjust this pillow for you. The pillows came in a white mesh like bag. I keep all the unused "stuffing" in this bag. I have it hanging in my closet and I just fluff the bag once a month to keep the filling fresh so it is ready if and when I need it. Coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep, neck issues, a stomach sleeper who hate those flat pillows manufacturers think stomach sleepers like but actually hate, buy this pillow. Just buy it. Best Pillow for a picky person like me. Buy 2 or more so if you have to stay at a hotel, you can take your own pillow.
