Produktbeschreibung
"A little boy who is afraid of telephones; a woman recounting to her lover her recent sexual assault; a man wondering what would happen if he woke up each morning nine minutes earlier than he had the morning before; a student who is plied by his German teacher with glass after glass of cheap wine . . . The protagonists of Andris Kurpriéss's debut collection are at times melancholy and worrisome, and world-angry or absurdist at others. Kupriéss plays with tension, a building up to climaxes reminiscent of Henry James -- but with endings that leave a lingering sense of having missed some important detail, some sinister clue that will reveal all meaning. Deceptively simple, nostalgic, and resigned, Kurpriéss's characters show how it can be just as hard to arrive somewhere (physical or intangible) as it can be to leave."--
