The town of Sable-on-the-Water, where mysterious phone calls take place every morning at 6 o'clock sharp. The most delicious creamy asparagus chicken dish you have ever made. A goblin on a full-moon chase. A gatherer of seashells on a Chennai beach. A wedding where (almost) nothing goes right. A choice, that may or may not be a matter of life or death... Flash fiction to nibble on or savour, sprinkled with a dash of poetry.

Tolstoi begann seinen Roman Anna Karenina einst mit den Worten: "Alle glücklichen Familien sind einander ähnlich, aber jede unglückliche Familie ist auf ihre besondere Art unglücklich." Das lässt sich auch über die Liebe sagen - das Gefühl ist dasselbe, doch der Ausdruck verschieden. All das Schöne und Tragische der Liebe, aber nie gleich. Reflections of a Lover ist eine Sammlung von Gedichten auf Deutsch und Englisch über ein und dieselbe Person. Über die Widersprüche, aber auch die Hoffnung, die sich mit diesem Menschen ergeben. Die Liebe, die zwei Menschen miteinander teilen. All das findet sich hier. In der Hinsicht ist es ein klassischer romantischer Gedichtband, aber auch so viel mehr. Liebe ist zwar universell, aber nie klassisch. So wie in diesem Gedichtband. Eine längst überfällige Liebeserklärung in Buchform. Mit einem Gastbeitrag von BastiChidori.

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
