Los ensayos manejan ideas, las novelas personajes. Los mitos describen ánimos, sentimientos recurrentes de la vida. En contraste con prosas que prescinden de imágenes y música, el discurso mítico cuenta nuestra historia desde la historia de otros, con un procedimiento parecido al juego de las muñecas rusas. Propio y ajeno, dentro y fuera, ayer y mañana pierden así su recíproca extrañeza: lo particular de cada caso expresa también algo constante y general.

"Denkst du, es lässt dich unschuldig wirken, wenn du mich hier einsperrst? Du hast wohl den Verstand verloren." "Noch nicht", murmelt er und senkt den Blick.

Wertungsfrei und liebevoll widmet sich Karsten Dusse dem Thema, das literarische Figuren derzeit beschäftigt wie kein zweites: Kinderbuchhelden, die aus ihren eigenen Büchern verscheucht werden. Eine Meerjungfrau, ein Hase, ein farbiger Lokomotivführer-Junge und ein werdender Indianerhäuptling hadern mit dem sie einenden Schicksal, dass sie nicht mehr die Hauptpersonen ihrer eigenen Geschichte sind. Sie bitten einen Anwalt - der zufälligerweise auch erfolgreicher Schriftsteller ist - um Rat.
