and another Junger to go with OP's! Can't find a good summary of this one though.

>Aladdin's Problem by Ernst Junger

"Junger presents a caustic look at the intersections of death, existential longing and capitalism in this short, allegorical novel." from a review: "ALADDIN'S PROBLEM is a slim volume, exceptionally terse, cryptic and understated even by Junger's standards. It begins with brief meditations on growing old and flowers almost imperceptibly into the story of a funeral assistant who, troubled by the emptiness of modern life and the power of the forces above us ("Aladdin's problem"), conceives one of the most fantastic ideas for permanence in human history."
