Judith Hermann

Nothing but Ghosts (eBook, ePUB)

Übersetzer: Dembo, Margot Bettauer

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A short-story collection following several women whose respective relationships are all on the turn in some way and have passed their first flush of romantic love.

The brilliant second collection of stories from Germany's answer to Zadie Smith. Judith Hermann's first collection, Summerhouse, Later, sold over 250,000 hardcovers in Germany and was short-listed for both the IMPAC award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. In Nothing but Ghosts, she portrays a generation in a new and precarious stage-she describes relationships with painstaking honesty, filling in the silences where communication has begun to falter and the gaze begins to turn elsewhere.
