Rezensionsnotiz Süddeutsche Zeitung, 20.01.2007
Eine Mischung aus Mitleid und Sarkasmus spricht aus Andreas Dorschels Besprechung von Helmuth Karaseks "Altersbuch". Den Geschichten eines Alternden übers Älterwerden heften seiner Ansicht nach etwas Resignatives, Deprimierendes, aber auch stark Selbstbezügliches und Kalauerndes an. Literarisch scheint Dorschel das ganze nicht wirklich ernst zu nehmen. Allerdings weiß er das Buch als "anrührendes" Dokument zu schätzen. Es dokumentiert nämlich für ihn die "bis zum Herrenwitz forcierte Verzweiflung dessen, der den Gedanken nicht aushält, seine Zeit sei vorbei."

... se relatasse sob a forma de crónicas o seu dia-a-dia enquanto profissional e enquanto doente oncológico nos hospitais onde fez o tratamento à doença que lhe foi diagnosticada em Dezembro de 2008.

Nos meses anteriores à infeliz convocatória, Pedro Múrias, esforçou-se por fazer uma crónica bem-humorada acerca das suas experiências diárias como jornalista e doente de cancro, incluindo alguns directos da sala de tratamento de quimioterapia nos hospitais por onde passou, “usando o braço que tinha livre para falar ao telefone” nas palavras do próprio.

Harlekino
Even though he is the son of a Dutch mother Said has a Moroccan first name in memory of the virtuoso Oud player his mother fell in love with twenty years ago. When she found out she was pregnant, he ran off and returned to Morocco. Said decides to look for his father, in the hope of finding a new identity in a new world. His childhood friend Hassan accompanies him. They only have one starting point – a grocery shop in Fez. From there they follow the trail of the Oud player, who leads them from the cedar woods of Ifrane to the red dunes of the desert to the high Atlas, where Kasbahs are locked in a losing battle with decay. The two friends, who as children shared shared an imaginary land which they both ruled – try to rekindle their friendship.

Said’s search sends him deeper into disillusionment and into the arms of Islam, where he tries to find something to hold on to. But there is a disturbing presence. A seemingly fictitious character from their imaginary land infiltrates Said’s. While Said desperately tries to get rid of him, different aspects of his life, more and more beyond his control, reach an apotheosis resulting in one final deed affecting man and beast alike.

‘Imagination and violence play a big part in Tessa de Loo’s 6th novel, and the first ‘big’ one since THE TWINS. It is also a very relevant novel. HARLEKINO takes on many contemporary themes: the clash between religions, displacement, migration, friendship. Together with the original theme of the search for identity, that makes of HARLEKINO a great novel. The search for the father is described in such detail that the desert sand practically crunches between the pages.’
