Beskrivning
A spellbinding short story collection by one of Austria's most critically acclaimed authors. A man becomes obsessed with observing his neighbours. A large family gathers for Christmas only to wait for the one member who never turns up. An old woman lures a man into her house where he finds dolls resembling himself as a boy. Mesmerizing and haunting stories about loss of identity in the modern world. ------- Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'I love Kafka and here we have a Kafkaesque sense of alienation - not to mention narrative experiments galore! Outwardly normal events slip into drama before they tip into horror. These oblique tales exert a fascinating hold over the reader.' Meike Ziervogel, Publisher

'Clever and enticing.' Alexander Starritt, TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT ------- 'Not since Julio Cortazar's game of Hopscotch ... has an author so daringly undertaken to challenge the reader.' Amanda Hopkinson, INDEPENDENT ------- 'It is ... very refreshing to be confronted by stories which so firmly refuse to yield to conventional interpretation.' Nicholas Lezard, GUARDIAN ------- 'This award-winning collection by the Austrian writer Alois Hotschnig drew comparisons with Kafka. But Hotschnig's quietly terrifying voice is all his own.' Jane Shilling, DAILY MAIL ------- 'Intriguing and powerful.' Pam Norfolk, LANCASHIRE EVENING POST
