Paul Russell Bücher

Anatole feiert Hochzeit; auch alte Freunde und Ex-Lover sind eingeladen, darunter Chris, der ihm vor 25 Jahren das Herz gebrochen und dann die Stadt verlassen hat. Aus dem verträumten Chris ist ein tougher Sicherheitsprofi geworden, der in Nigeria amerikanische Ingenieure beschützt. Chris belächelt die brave Sesshaftigkeit der Menschen im Provinzstädtchen Poughkeepsie und kann kaum glauben, dass die Freunde von einst das wirklich ernst meinen. Durch die Konfrontation mit seinem Ex-Lover keimen bei Anatole Zweifel, ob er seinem Leben vielleicht eine falsche Richtung gegeben hat. Mit einem Zeitsprung von 25 Jahren kehrt Russell zu den Figuren seines Romans «Brackwasser» zurück und scheucht sie durch die Wechselbäder «Möglichkeit“ und «Wirklichkeit», auf der Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage, ob in der Mitte des Lebens so etwas wie Zufriedenheit zu erreichen ist.
