Description

"What does it mean to have a connection with someone? You see hundreds of people everyday. Everyday you overhear countless conversations. You pass people by on the street, in the office, in cafes and bars, in hotels and department stores. But what makes one person a stranger, and another a friend, an accomplice, even a lover? This is the question these brilliant short stories try to answer. A traveler shuts himself up in his hotel room ; 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 ... These are just some of the tales exploring the mysteries of human relationships. From the winner of the prestigious Robert Walser First Novel Award and Switzerlands Schiller Foundation Writers Prize, Goldfish Memory is the first translation of Monique Schwitter's form-breaking work. With a contemporary style that's cool, quick and funny, this collection is a refreshing new voice, not to be missed"--Back cover.
