Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.

Er kam Anfang der neunziger Jahre von Moskau nach Berlin, als Teil einer Welle jüdischer Emigranten. Im ehemaligen Ostberlin besetzte er eine der vielen leerstehenden Wohnungen und machte erste Bekanntschaft mit Lebenskünstlern jeglicher Couleur, die in Scharen aus dem Westteil der Stadt herüberströmten und die Gegenden rund um den Alexanderplatz oder Prenzlauer Berg bald fest im Griff hatten. Das Berlin, das Kaminer vorfand, faszinierte ihn von Anfang an: eine Stadt im Aufbruch, voller Energie, Bewegung und mit einer Atmosphäre, die zum Geschichtenerzählen anregt. Ob Griechen, die Italienisch sprechen müssen, weil sie eine Pizzeria besitzen, ob russischer Telefonsex oder die steile Karriere eines Studenten aus der Ukraine vom Tellerwäscher eines Krokodil-Steakhauses zum Manager eines Kürbiskern-Stands auf dem Winterfeldmarkt, Kaminer versteht es meisterhaft, seinen Figuren mit Charme und unverwechselbarem Humor ein kleines Denkmal zu errichten.

Born in Argentina and based in Berlin, Tomás Saraceno creates projects in dialogue with forms of life and life-forming, rethinking dominant threads of knowledge in the “Capitalocene” era and recognising diverse modes of being. This book, published to accompany a solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London, presents his ongoing research on proverbs. The proverbs collected here are an invitation, an exercise in collective memory, for some to change habits and not the climate. Saraceno pursues the question of whether such popular sayings carry the knowledge to forecast other climates. What if we could all re-learn how to read the weather without relying on the digital cloud?
