Shift Sleepers
A novel by a Swiss writer that features figures from all over Europe from different walks of life coming together in secret to talk through their experiences, hopes, and dreams.Somewhere deep in the European forest, they meet. They come from everywhere. Frontier workers, smugglers, refugees, workers, asylum seekers, inspectors, artists, musicians, actors, journalists, scholarship holders, logisticians, students, and ghosts.
They talk together about happiness, music, and death. They are all representatives of our time, and they have conversations about origins and justice; body and state; import and export; homeland and migration. In Shift Sleepers, Swiss writer Dorothee Elmiger has produced a novel that sheds light on the controversial issues of our time, finding a new language for this conversation previously unheard in contemporary German
