A brainstorming meeting, an office lunch break, a weekend escapade or a tough workout at the gym- life is full of interactions and considerations. Various narrators, including a single, middle-aged man from Turkey living in Berlin, take the reader of these short stories through the boredom of white collar work, the absurd and equally poignant moments of human connection and life in big cities and small villages. Meandering through lunch choices, shopping lists, condom types, and pandemic circumstances, it becomes clear how quickly some things can change, while others don't change at all. The contemplations comprise of questions about legacy, partnership, and what answers religion can really provide to the fact of death.#fiction#paperback
