Das SchachbrettWie schon in seinem ersten Roman, Das Badezimmer, wo der Held das Badezimmer nicht mehr verlsst, spielen im Werk des groartigen Schriftstellers Jean Philippe Toussaint geschlossene Orte eine groe Rolle. Orte, an denen man ungestrt ber die Welt und deren gebrechliches Gefge nachdenken kann.

Wie schon in seinem ersten Roman, Das Badezimmer, wo der Held das Badezimmer nicht mehr verlässt, spielen im Werk des großartigen Schriftstellers Jean-Philippe Toussaint geschlossene Orte eine große Rolle. Orte, an denen man ungestört über die Welt und deren gebrechliches Gefüge nachdenken kann. Als im Frühjahr 2020 von einem Tag auf den anderen sämtliche Pläne Toussaints über den Haufen geworfen werden, beginnt er, Stefan Zweigs Schachnovelle zu übersetzen, seine erste Übersetzung. Und so beschreibt er auf humorvolle Weise die Fallstricke dieser Übersetzung. Tag für Tag übersetzend entsteht dabei, fast ungewollt, ein Buch. Und was der Autor in dem Moment noch nicht ahnt: Das Buch, das er im Begriff ist zu schreiben, nimmt unter seiner Hand einen autobiographischen Charakter an. Zum ersten Mal spricht Toussaint von sich in der ersten Person: Eine spannende Autofiktion entsteht. Wir treten mit Toussaint in sein Schreibzimmer, blicken ihm über die Schulter, wenn er schreibend zurück in seine früheste Kindheit geht, vom Leben - und vom Tod - erzählt. Wir erfahren, wie sich seine Berufung zum Schriftsteller offenbarte. Eine Reise in 64 Kapiteln beginnt, die den 64 Feldern eines Schachbretts entsprechen. Denn um das Schachspiel dreht sich alles in diesem Buch, Schach ist Dreh- und Angelpunkt seiner ausschweifenden Erinnerungen. Entstanden ist ein »wunderbares und extrem intelligentes Buch mit einer sehr hohen Auffassung von dem, was Literatur sein muss« (Transfuge). »Intelligent und weit davon entfernt, langweilig zu sein.« (Culture de France) Und Frédéric Beigbeder äußerte begeistert: »Ich musste oft an Modiano denken, als ich es las.«

Not full coverage
Size: Medium, Color: A-multicolor(6 Pack)
These are not full coverage and are the cheapest underwear in every way. The fabric is rough, and the seams around the edges of the leg openings are exposed. I ordered medium for my 28" waist and 38" hips. They fit... except for the buttcheek debut. I gave them to my 12 year old daughter to wear because she's not picky. Plus, they were cheap. She's happy. I'm still searching for full coverage undies. Update: The seller reached out regarding my review, and I'm impressed with their customer service. The cotton softened up upon washing and drying (no sand paper undies), and my daughter is very pleased with them.

Comfortable and cool. Does not ride up.
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
Extremely comfortable. Stays cool. Ample coverage. Quality material. They do not creep up. I ordered a medium which I generally take a size small. I have reordered and will reorder again to add more colors to my collection.

Great Value for Cool Thigh Protection
Color: 02-multicolour (4-pack), Size: XX-Large
For the price, I'm not sure there are better women's boxer shortlettes anywhere. I've tried more expensive brands, and for quality and cooling, these are right up there. I have other bamboo viscose undies that still get gross when I get sweaty in the summer, but these, with the large mesh panel, really help wick away a lot of that moisture, keeping you feeling dryer and cooler. I find that the leg openings are comfortable and don't roll up! and the waist band doesn't dig, nor does it roll down. These do not provide any compression, and I wasn't looking for any. I just wanted some cooling, thigh protecting women's boxers that wouldn't break the bank. These are them! Bonus- I've washed them and put them in the dryer (following their instructions), and they haven't shrunk; they look about the same and are nice and soft.

Great for the entire family but expensive
So far so good. The brand of boxers we had been buying changed their style and construction so we needed to find an alternative. These have held up well so far to multiple weeks of frequent washing and wearing from the entire family. We did size up from the usual 6/M we normally buy and ordered large to prevent the legs from rolling up which worked out great. Our daughter likes the length and how soft the fabric is for wearing under skirts and gym shorts and liners stay put without moving or leaking as another reviewer mentioned. Our son says they are comfortable and fit well being just supportive enough without being constrictive. We all agree that there seems to be not enough fabric in the back as they tend to be much tighter across the backside than the front and that also causes the waist band to ride lower in the back than the front. These have better seam placement than some brands we tried with no seam across the lady bits and no seam down the middle of the back side so they are more much comfortable but the cost is also much higher and that is why we're only giving it 4 stars. These will stay in the rotation until we find something cheaper that both us and the kids like.

Pregnant lady review! Soft, comfortable, cool.
Color: 03-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
So soft, comfortable and cool. I'm pregnant and I've gained weight in my legs. I love wearing dresses but my thighs were rubbing together too much. These are perfect to wear under dresses. I also wear them under my bibs at work and it keeps me from getting overheated but I don't have to worry about whether or not my underwear show since they just look like shorts. I wish these came in maternity. I just keep them below my belly. I'll be buying more for sure.
