«Kolonien der Liebe» is Elke Heidenreich's collection of short stories, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (174 pages, in German).
The volume brings together nine stories about love in contemporary life, narrated with irony, tenderness and melancholy. For Heidenreich, the «colonies of love» are fortuitous places in the world that give off a little warmth transiently, but also settings where pain, hatred and indifference can destroy any emotional bond.
This 1994 edition is part of the rororo Taschenbücher series, number 13470.
Recommended for readers of short fiction interested in contemporary German literature and the contradictions of love.
