International Booker-longlisted author Clemens Meyer returns with
Dark Satellites, a striking collection of stories about marginal
characters in contemporary Germany. A train driver’s life is
upended when he hits a laughing man on the tracks on his night
shift; a lonely train cleaner makes friends with a hairdresser in
the train station bar; and a young man, unable to return to his
home after a break-in, wanders the city in a state of increasing
unrest. From the home to places of work, Meyer transforms the
territories of our everyday lives into sites of rupture and
connection. Unsentimental and yet deeply moving, Dark Satellites is
a collection of stories from our time, as dark as the world, as
beautiful as the brightest of hopes.
