Description

In the stories of Letti Park, strangers wander into ordinary lives and change them in profound yet unknowable ways.

Judith Hermann’s masterful stories reveal the subtle but incontestable drama of what happens when we meet someone. Her characters have no defense against these intense and unpredictable encounters. They occur at random, without cause or provocation, and unfold beneath the threshold of comprehension. In Letti Park, Judith Hermann explores this all-important moment, our loneliness and rage and longing.

Judith Hermann delivers a collection of emotionally acute and quietly devastating short stories that showcase her remarkable psychological insight. With a keen eye for the subtleties of human interaction, Hermann captures the fragile, often unspoken dynamics that shape our relationships. The stories in this volume are quite brief, almost haunting in their restraint; yet the emotional weight of each story belies its brevity. A masterclass in minimalist storytelling from one of the finest voices in contemporary fiction.
