Requirements: ePUB reader, 217KB
Overview: ‘Take the bare prose of Raymond Carver, apply the bleak outlook of Michel Houellebecq, place characters from an Irvine Welsh book on German streets, and you have something close to this collection of 15 short stories… His tales have an evanescent, impressionistic quality… Meyer thrills and rewards.’ The Guardian. ‘A bold experiment that augurs well for this talented young writer.’ The Herald (Scotland) ‘A little like Raymond Carver, fifteen stories, laconic yet full of longing, from the young star of German fiction.’ GQ. ‘He pulls few punches in the telling of his stories, but he does so with acuity, tenderness and complete originality.’ Rob Burdock, Christmas Gifts Guide, The Booktrust. ‘What Meyer manages to achieve leaves you speechless. These stories glow in the world’s darkness.’ Die Welt. ‘Clemens Meyer writes the best crafted, toughest and most heart-rending stories in Germany.’ Spiegel. ‘Meyer tells us about people who normally are not ‘literary subject matter’ […] Respect to him. He’s the real deal. We need storytellers like him.’ Die Zeit.
