Love Notes from a German Building Site

Paul, a young Irish engineer, follows his girlfriend to Berlin and begins work on the renovation of a commercial building in Alexanderplatz. Wrestling with a new language, on a site running behind schedule, and with a relationship in flux, he becomes increasingly untethered. Set against the structural evolution of a sprawling city, this meditation on language, memory and yearning is underpinned by the site`s physical reality. As the narration explores the mind`s fragile architecture, he begins to map his own strange geography through a series of notebooks, or `Love notes`. “In such a brutish and masculine atmosphere, Duncan`s account is an unmasked ray of hope… The prose is minimal, yet the ideas are maximal. If more men thought and wrote as tenderly and honestly as Adrian Duncan, we`d have stronger, sturdier novels and fewer garish monuments to consumerism” Irish Independent.
