The first title in the Granta Magazine Editions series: a work of subtle, perceptive autofiction from one of the most highly regarded writers working in Germany today.
When Judith Hermann runs into her psychoanalyst in the middle of the night on Berlin's Kastanienallee, it sparks an exploration of the moments and memories that have made a life: an intense friendship with another young mother; an unconventional childhood with long summers spent on the German coast; and the ties of familial trauma that echo through generations. In three interconnected essays at once confessional and lyrical, Judith Hermann explores the life and tasks of the writer when memory is no longer reliable and dreams intrude on reality.
In this book [Hermann] makes it admirably clear how confidently she can transform even the difficult, the barely bearable, the deadly dark into great literature * Der Spiegel *
Judith Hermann's books offer unflinching explorations of human relationships * Neue Zurcher Zeitung *
With Judith Hermann you want to read every line, you don't want to miss anything * Deutschlandfunk *
This book . . . has incredible energy and beauty and brutality and radiance. On every page you feel ruthlessness and honesty and the necessity of the text * Die Zeit *
