Ferdinand von Schirach, PUNISHMENT

Luchterhand - Hardcover - March 2018 - 190 pages

What is truth? What is reality? How did we become who we are? Ferdinand von Schirach depicts the fates of twelve characters - while never passing judgement. With calm, distanced serenity, yet with great empathy at the same time, he writes about loneliness and the sense of being foreign, the quest of happiness, and devastating failure: his stories are always narratives about ourselves.
