Time Like Honey - 21 Short Stories

Fülszöveg

Even in a fast-food world time can flow slowly, ponderously — just like honey. An elderly woman wanders into a church, where she encounters an apparently pious young man. A man living in a lighthouse loses himself on the beach, while his wife reminisces about her travels. Two doctors try to balance their personal relationship and the burden of working in warworn, forgotten areas. A man is asked by a colleague to accompany her to a funeral. An unemployed man tries to figure out a dream and find the love of his life. Sheep graze at an airport while urbanites dream up weary dreams of flowery meadows. Why do people go to church? What is the difference between sympathy, empathy and dignity? What is home? What is loneliness? Do some people have colours? What happens to the city at night? Is there always a trade-off in relationships? Is one acting like an addict while watching an addict? What is meditation and what is madness? Are some stories better left untold? Should some stories stop being told? Time Like Honey is sitting on a square and watching the spectacle of the city unfold; taking the subway without burying your head into a screen; not just listening to jazz but also watching the musicians who play it. It is life itself unfolding — viewed through different lenses.
