Product Description
The characters in this collection of four stories are caught between two themes: first, that people are transformed by their basically wild natures; and second, that dominant cultural patterns make us normal "like all the others." Dorrie works these extremes with mastery, producing comic stories that nonetheless take a bite out of contemporary society. Thus, a blue-haired saxophonist judiciously fakes a pregancy. A middle-class couple is more direct; they rob banks. Julius Armbrust quits his job designing packages to destroy psychologically his wife's lover. And Jakob lies in the mud watching a shopgirl read Flaubert. One story, "Men," was filmed by Dorrie and released to rave reviews and packed theaters in Germany.
