Peter H. Handke, driven by the believe, that life isn't just finding something to enjoy, but it's about creating it, started, after he had retired from a commercial world, to write. Uplifting, happy stories, to counter the drab daily news and give the reader something to smile, was on his agenda. "Before you switch the light off" is the first book in a series of funny and enjoyable stories, who will make you lough and encourage you to develop a happy feeling. A lough a day, keeps the doctor away and should remind you that life has a nasty side effect - it is too short!
