Description

In the heart of Europe's forest, figures from diverse walks of life gather in secret to share their experiences and dreams. Frontier workers, smugglers, refugees, artists, musicians, actors, journalists, scholars, logisticians, students, and others come together to discuss origins and justice, body and state, import and export, homeland and migration. They converse about happiness, music, and death. Swiss writer Dorothee Elmiger has crafted a novel that sheds light on the complexities of our time, finding new language for this conversation previously unheard in contemporary German literature. Published in 2019, Shift Sleepers is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
