Wassererzählungen

Stories in, by, under, or on the water. A swimming pool, a lake, a pond, pouring rain, and the sea - John von Düffel's new stories take place in, by, under, or on the water. They tell of sparkling reflections and black depths, vast expanses and airtight isolation, ice-gray seas in winter, and the crystal-clear water of a pool. A father must learn that his daughter is growing up, a mother that her child will never be born. A teacher realizes that one can never convey to others what one wants, but only the involuntary.
