A man leaves a cinema in a Swiss city and discovers that the world around him is identical but strange: he has returned to his childhood. His parents do not recognize him, and he watches from outside the lost happiness, symbolized by a blue siphon. A narrative about memory, nostalgia, and the desire to recover lost time.
Work originally published in 1992 as «Der blaue Siphon»; translation by Pilar Giralt Gorina.
For readers of contemporary literature and European fiction who appreciate short nostalgic narratives with a touch of fantasy.
