Dark Satellites

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.
