5.0

The Safety Net by Heinrich Boll is a pseudo political, pseudo social commentary novel about the trials and tribulations of security, as visited upon the super-powerful and the ordinary folk who surround them. While no Group Portrait or Billiards, the novel is engaging, playful, fun and strange. For my taste, it was far too short. Given the wide range of characters and stories, this novel could easily be longer. Boll is a master.
