Goldfischgedächtnis: Erzählungen

By Monique Schwitter

What is it that makes one person a complete stranger, and another a friend, an accomplice, or even a lover? This is the question explored by these brilliant and quirky short stories. A traveler shuts himself up in his hotel room with no one but room service to talk to, a teenager stalks her long-lost father, a journalist interviews a great poet with a dark past, a woman pursues a doomed liaison with an anonymous man she meets once a month at the casino, a bar lady locked in with the regulars at night are just some tales in this collection that explore the mysterious and random side of human relationships. From the winner of the prestigious Robert Walser First Novel Award and Switzerland s Schiller Foundation Writers Prize, "Goldfish Memory" is a form-breaking work not to be missed."
