Henriette Kuhrt, IS THIS CLASSY?

Midas - Non-Fiction - Hardcover - September 2019 - 224 pages

Are pencil skirts self-sabotage? How can I cope with everyday life in high heels? Is the consumption of large quantities of meat masculine? How do men hug each other correctly? And do I have to greet dogs?
Henriette Kuhrt defuses every Sunday in her NZZ column the conflicts of human co-existence. Its readers love it so much that the column has cult status and has become one of the most popular and most read sections of the newspaper.

The topics range from fashion to etiquette, from nursery school to road traffic to the pitfalls of digital communication and the challenge of finding the perfect present. Whether it’s the high art of the Normcore look, the minefield of social networks or the question of whether you can ask your friends for money. Henriette Kuhrt updates the rules of human coexistence and protects her readers from the worst mistakes: Because what was good behavior yesterday can be an affront today.
