Product Description
Alice looks at the phone and then glances at the clock. 13:55 EST makes - she counts on her fingers - about 6pm in Berlin. He'll be on his way home. Alice settles into the armchair and dials the number... If Alice hadn't bumped into Will then she would probably never have phoned that afternoon. And if Alice hadn't called, then Michael, poor Michael, might still be alive today. In a digital age of world-spanning communications and easy travel these stories explore how interconnected and yet fragmented our lives have become, and how - no matter where we live or what we do, no matter how different our lifestyles - the universal desires for love and happiness draw us ever onward.

lotuscandy (United Kingdom) (2010/08/20):
Dazzling - Alexander is a master of minimalism, a literary Philip Glass... 13:55 is a novel, a collection of short stories, and a whole lot more besides. - David Llewellyn, Time Out Magazine
