«Falsche Zungen» is Ingrid Noll's collection of short stories, published by Diogenes in hardcover (252 pages, in German).
The characters in these stories move between everyday life and the unsettling: mothers who do not trust their children, fathers capable of extreme decisions, and eccentric figures in search of love. Deception and half-truths color every story, with a tone ranging from black humor to suspense and a peculiar re-reading of Christmas.
Subtitled «Gesammelte Geschichten», it brings together previously published stories. Published in 2004.
For readers with a command of German who enjoy short fiction, psychological suspense and black humor.
