In meiner Vorstellung gibt es Winter-und es gibt Sommerstädte. Athen ist für mich eine Sommerstadt. Das Licht bringt das beige-graue Betonmeer zum Leuchten. Venedig ist eine Winterstadt. Blaugraues Schwanken der kleinen Boote, ab und an das Hallen von Schritten in engen Gassen. Alles ist feucht und kühl, nicht kalt. Wenn ich dort friere, kommt die […]
It’s strange, although my mother’s family is originated in the highlands near Cologne, I didn’t visit this region for a long time. Then, a few weeks ago, a friend invited me to stay at his place.

Ich hasste das Sonntagsritual, wenn meine Mutter (eine große Naturliebhaberin) den Rest der Familie mit ihrem eisernen Willen konfrontierte, einen Waldspaziergang zu machen. Mein Vater, normalerweise sehr auf seine Souveränität bedacht, gab zu meinem größten Leid in dieser Frage jedes Mal nach. Er wusste genau, dass er wenigstens hier […]
You enter a surreal world when the alarm clock rings at 5 a.m. When you’re lucky, your sleep wasn’t interrupted during a heavy dream.
