SNIPPETS

Snippets cover_edited_edited_edited_edited_edited.png

Everybody had a new story. We lived in fairy tales, our streets had their own stories and families learnt to understand each other better. When you can't go to faraway places, you look around our own streets. Most of these stories seems to have the same backdrop. A city with rain, noises from the background and dark silhouettes behind the curtains. Streets with people and stories. In a dream.

 

The colours, the tastes, the sounds, and the views of nature got new meaning, new reflections, and new adventures started with no finishing line in view.

 

Kata's processing of one language into another gives the stories a kind of stillness, it's melancholy seems to come from a European heart.

This is a wonderful second collection of intriguing and moving stories from Kata Kiss. Her voice and style have developed beautifully since the release of Fingerprints. More detail and more immersion in the world and point of view of her characters. These stories take us deeper and further into life and the way people look for connection, meaning, love and survival in a world where tragic irony awaits around every corner.

I'd love to see her try her hand at something longer so I can spend more time with her characters!
More please Kata!
