Entire biographies could be written about what was left unsaid in a lifetime.
—Ricardo Domeneck, from The Archbishop Writes to Me Sometimes
Chance encounters, glances, memories. In his short story, Ricardo Domeneck paints a panorama of an interim community that, amid the heat of Berlin, uncertainty, and threat, repeatedly finds solace in dark humour.
The Archbishop Writes to Me Sometimes is the sixth volume in the 'haɪ̯maːtn̩ publication series, which understands the German term Heimat (home/homeland) in the plural and as a verb. It is published by Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in collaboration with Merve Verlag.
