Central Station

The texts in this collection of stories deal with people on the edge of society, stranded as human flotsam at the central station, this labyrinthine center of modern societies. Realistic narratives alternate with texts that look at events as if under a magnifying glass, thus providing a new perspective on things. Edgar Fuhrmann belongs to the circle of so-called Ecartists around the blogger Rother Baron, who founded the publishing house LiteraturPlanet in 2008. In his younger years, Fuhrmann travelled extensively by train. During this time, he repeatedly encountered people who had fallen on hard times for various reasons.
