In her collection of short stories Katja Lange-Müller talks about life, about similarities and differences, about animals in the zoo and in free territories, about cities and forests, about American baseball, South-American beaches and parts of Berlin. But in all her stories the people who live in these places play the main role. Katja Lange-Müller has watched them precisely, she has an unmistakable sense for details, for the secrets behind every-day life. With her extraordinary precision of language and wild sense of humour Katja Lange-Müller takes the reader into the excitement and flamboyance of the details of our lives. And like Hemmingway did before, her short stories hide the decisive under their surface.
