Kimia, a successful spiritual advisor whose Iranian childhood continues to haunt her, collides with a mysterious giant bird in her mother’s California garage.

In this spare novelette, acclaimed flash-fiction writers James Claffey and Tara Lynn Masih collaboratively create an original tale of loss and love, as The Bitter Kind deftly alternates between Stela, the daughter of a ship’s captain, burdened by her family secrets, and Brandy, a Chippewa orphan, haunted by ghost wolves and spirits. The authors cross genres and borders between historical and contemporary, speculative and realistic, presenting two unforgettable characters on a journey toward their inevitable, fateful destination.

Ein Büchlein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert dient in dieser Erzählung als Basis zu einer modernen Interpretation allfälliger metaphysischer Erweiterungen des Individuellen schlechthin. Oftmals scheint sich die biologische Grenze auszudehnen, Phantomidentitäten bieten ihre durchaus funktionierenden Dienste an, d. h. Sein und Schein verschmelzen ineinander, das Eine wird durch einen bloßen Willensakt auch zum Anderen und bildet somit das Leben innerhalb eines Dralls ab.

In einer unscheinbaren Bar irgendwo in Mexiko treffen und inspirieren sich einander der epochale Caravaggio und einige der durchaus modernen Anderen, ohne sich vom eigenen, dynamisch schicksalhaften Kurs abbringen zu lassen, der ja immer wieder als Mixtur individueller und fremder Eingebungen auftritt. Es ist ein unfassbares Gerangel an chaotischem Gewühl, das dabei entstehen muss, eine klärende, aber auch erstaunliche Karambolage zeitloser Anliegen.

Abgesehen von der poetischen Einführung – dem spannenden, strukturellen Leitfaden – sind die anschließend folgenden Texte „Poetische Razzia Blatt I–VII" tatsächlich etwas fragmentarisch und roh, sind noch im Werden, im Suchen und Entdecken eines kommenden Sinns, um der Welt, in die sie ja offenbar gehen oder besser gesagt hinein schwimmen, etwas gewappneter gegenüberzutreten. Man bemerkt aber schon jetzt eine gewisse barbarische Tendenz zur Zerstörung, die in einer erweiterten Bedeutung der Geschehnisse die Grundlage, das Fundament sozusagen, für eine neue Ordnung bilden.

In Vision entwirft Thomas Mann ein fein schattiertes Stimmungsbild zwischen Wirklichkeit und innerem Erleben. Ein sensibler Beobachter verliert sich in einer flüchtigen Wahrnehmung, die sich zu einem intensiven, beinahe entrückten Moment verdichtet. Die Erzählung spiegelt die Macht der Imagination und zeigt, wie fragile Eindrücke zu tiefen seelischen Erfahrungen werden können.

Dalle tradizioni sciamaniche impariamo che un’anima può prendere in prestito qualsiasi forma della natura – un merlo, una pianta, il vento – anche solo per un istante, giusto il tempo di un saluto di passaggio. Nel mezzo di una passeggiata nel giardino di casa, all’alba dei suoi...
