Dark satellites

Meyer, Clemens, 1977-2020
Books
A train driver's life is upended when he hits a laughing man on the tracks on his night shift. A night watchman patrolling outside a home for immigrants falls in love with a nameless immigrant. A lonely train cleaner makes friends with a hairdresser in the train station bar. A young man finds himself unable to return to his home after a break-in, and wanders the city in a state of increasing unrest. Unsentimental and yet deeply moving, 'Dark Satellites' is a collection of stories from our time, as dark as the world, as beautiful as the brightest of hopes.
