Kurzgeschichten

Von Montag bis heute habe ich einen Kurzgeschichten-Band gelesen, der mich nur mäßig begeistert hat. Das einzig positive an den Geschichten war, das dieses Buch nur 250 Seiten hatte und daher schnell durchgelesen war. Die Stories selbst waren irgendwie durchaus alle deprimierend und die Protagonisten hatten keine interessanten Charaktere - ich habe mir wesentlich mehr davon versprochen. 

Mein ausgelesenes Buch:

Rachel SEIFFERT
Field Study

Description: Rachel Seiffert, author of The Dark Room, powerfully evokes our need for human connection in this dazzling and haunting group of stories. Set against immense political upheaval, or evoking the intimate struggles between men and women, parents and children, this astonishing collection charts our desire for love, our fragility, and our strength. From the title piece, in which a young biologist conceals his discoveries at a polluted river from a local woman, to the family aided by an enemy in “The Crossing,” to the old man weighing his regrets in “Francis John Jones, 1924–” Seiffert’s acclaimed, refined prose movingly captures the lives of her characters in their most essential, secret moments.
