More about the book
After ‘Pleasures on the Periphery’ (2022: Cuvillier), ‘It wasn’t a Nightmare’ is the second collection of authentic and at times surreal observations of life and work in the provinces and also some of the capitals of Poland, Hungary, Finland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain and the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Following the snapshot-technique of Jack London, Laurie Lee and Christopher Isherwood, the vignette-like stories aim to reflect on the harshness and then again rare sudden beauty of life to be encountered in every corner of the world where human beings come together in very different contexts. In the background, the narrator keeps asking the question of what is the “truth“ regarding the sociological mechanisms and driving forces in the fabric of these contexts. As in the first volume, this book includes a number of original photographs from the narrator’s own private collections.
