«Männer in Kamelhaarmänteln» is a collection of short stories by Elke Heidenreich, published by Carl Hanser Verlag in hardcover (224 pages, in German).
The author starts from specific garments —Karl Lagerfeld's mismatched socks, Frida Kahlo's dresses, an overpriced duffle coat— to talk about life: youth, friendships, love and separations. These are brief, comic and melancholic stories in which anyone can recognize themselves through the clothes they wear or remember.
The work was published in September 2020; its full subtitle is «Kurze Geschichten über Kleider und Leute». This is the 13th edition.
For readers interested in contemporary German literature and in short stories with fashion as a guiding thread.
