In “Immensee,” an old man reminisces fondly upon his youth and unfulfilled love, his monologue evoking a reality that is veiled and haunted by dreams and illusion. This engaging volume also contains “Viola Tricolor,” the delightful story of a woman coming to terms with her stepdaughter, and “Curator Carsten,” a somber account of a young man falling into a life of debauchery.
