An angel walks past a sentry on a desolate beach. A schizophrenic woman submits to the Devil in many guises, even as she waits for Jesus. A family is nearly split apart over the legacy of a German dining table. Two skiers take refuge from a blizzard in a Kashubian village that cannot be found on any map. A Wagnerian opera comes to life in an old woman's living room. Snails lift their horns to catch the voices of the dead.
And a grandfather spends his last days secretly building his own private submarine. Sensuous, evocative, nostalgic, Huelle's stories resonate with the acute perceptions of childhood. The mundane world is visited by unexpected, luminous moments of miracle and wonder.
