W opowiadaniach ze zbioru Człowiek z kowadłem, Dariusz Muszer poszukuje przyczyn kryzysu europejskiej tożsamości. Realia polsko-niemieckie opowiedziane zostały ze swobodą znawcy tematu: ich bohaterowie utknęli w pułapkach braku przynależności, obcości, alienacji. Niemcy wyobcowani w Niemczech, Polacy wyobcowani w Polsce, wszyscy zapętleni w antagonizmie oczekiwań i rzeczywistości. Muszer z cierpkim humorem eksploruje pułapki, które ludzie zastawiają sami na siebie.
I świetnie się to czyta.
