Die Bildspringerin

16 completely different short stories that share one thing in common: an unexpected twist, a surprising ending, or a big question mark while reading. Often kafkaesque, nightmarish, or oppressive, these short narratives delve deeply into the inner lives of their characters, unflinchingly and sometimes painfully. We encounter strong women, outsiders, and loners. The stories illuminate a brief moment, a manageable timeframe in the lives of the protagonists, often evoking a sense of unease or hopelessness. There is plenty of material for contemplation and reflection – or for discussion.
