Their journey usually, but not always, results in disappointment, failure or even death. The theme of travel was introduced in Kracht's debut novel <i>Faserland</i> (1995). While the first wave of the novel's criticism identified <i>Faserland</i> as a novel about the affirmation of brand names and consumer culture, a second wave of criticism suggested that the novels evinces the protagonist's dissatisfaction with his lifestyle and existential "ennui".
