Seventeen Cities

Meer over het boek

Exploring diverse urban landscapes, this collection features seventeen interconnected short stories, each set in a distinct city around the globe. Beginning in Minsk, a deformed teenager grapples with loss in a hospital for Chernobyl survivors. The narrative then shifts to a Manhattan stockbroker facing existential dread upon seeing his name in the obituaries. The journey continues to Rio, where a man discovers a hotel that transcends time. Each tale weaves together themes of grief, identity, and the human experience across different cultures.
