Vague Days

She is suffering from delusions, hears voices, but then she has these lucid moments when she tells stories that fascinate Grün and remind him of his own past. Having lost himself long ago, he feels like she is pulling him out of his monotonous routines: he can finally talk about himself, about what it was like earlier, about what he didn't have the words to say before. And even when the stability he is grasping for comes loose, she could still be his salvation. Would it be so bad to get closer to her? And how great is the danger that he will disappear into the stranger's life? Annika Domainko tells the disturbing and unstable story of two people, of losing control, power, and the fear of collapse. "Vague Days" is an archaeology of psychological extremes – a novel that, on its search for surety, questions all certainties.
