Der größte Kapitän aller Zeiten

Eggers’ satire feels both funny and thought-provoking. I wonder what inspired the tone and balance between comedy and critique.

The conclusion felt open in a way that made me think about real-world leaders. Was this ambiguity intentional to provoke reflection?

Eggers’ portrayal makes the captain more human and flawed. I’m curious how this duality was developed during writing.
