Vito will raus, raus aus seiner arschkalten Wohnung in Kreuzberg. Was mit einem Kater beginnt, entpuppt sich zwischen Ladendiebstahl und Mut anküssen als schonungslose Suche nach den Wurzeln seiner Einsamkeit. Anton Weil erzählt von den großen Themen seiner Generation: von Vereinzelung, Sexualität und Liebe, von Trauer und Aufbruch.

Troubled by an inability to find any meaning in his life, the 25-year-old narrator of this deceptively simple novel quits university and eventually arrives at his brother's New York apartment. In a bid to discover what life is all about, he writes lists. He becomes obsessed by time and whether it actually matters. He faxes his meteorologist friend. He endlessly bounces a ball against the wall. He befriends a small boy who lives next door. He yearns to get to the bottom of life and how best to live it.

An award-wining poet, short story writer and novelist, Walter de la Mare is probably best known for his works for children and his perennially popular poem ‘The Listeners’. His ghost stories were much admired by H. P. Lovecraft and inspired subsequent authors of supernatural horror such as Robert Aickman and Ramsey Campbell. In 1921, his novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction, and this haunting, surrealistic tale is the opening tale in our anthology.
