Diese Auswahl umfasst fünf Short Stories der Psychologin Patricia Highsmith, die eindrucksvoll zeigt, dass es für die Erkundung seelischer Untiefen keinen Mord braucht. Mit unerwarteten Wendungen und tiefen Einsichten ins Allzumenschliche beleuchtet der Erzählband eine besondere Facette der Autorin.

A young man arrives in the Ukraine with a tattered photograph, a bad translator, a man haunted by memories and an undersexed guide dog - he is looking for the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. What they find turns all their worlds upside down.

I wish to advocate for Nature and the concept of absolute freedom and wildness, contrasting it with mere civil freedom and culture. I see man as an integral part of Nature rather than just a member of society. My intention is to make a strong statement, as there are already many defenders of civilization. In my experience, I have encountered only a few individuals who truly understand the art of Walking—those who possess a genius for SAUNTERING. This term originates from idle people in the Middle Ages who wandered in search of charity, claiming to be on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, leading children to call them Sainte-Terrers or Saunterers. While some may wander without purpose, true saunterers seek a deeper connection to their surroundings. The essence of sauntering lies in having no fixed home, feeling equally at home everywhere. This is the key to successful sauntering. In contrast, those who remain confined indoors may be the true vagrants. A genuine saunterer is like a meandering river, always striving for the shortest path to the sea. I favor the first derivation of sauntering, as every walk becomes a personal crusade, a quest to reclaim our Holy Land from the forces that seek to diminish it.

They call themselves the Brethren, three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison: one for tax evasion, another for skimming bingo profits, and the third for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library these judges-turned-felons use their time in prison fine-tuning a brilliant extortion scam. While events outside their prison walls begin to erupt, with a bizarre presidential election holding the nation in its grips and a powerful government figure pulling some hidden strings, these three judges couldn''t have had better timing, because they''ve just found the perfect victim.
