Berlin is a sad city, but it's a sadness you don't see. It's like having heavy metals slowly build up in your body. You can spend a few days, weeks, months, or even years here and never notice how heavy your heart has become.
The protagonists of Andris Kurpriss's debut collection are at times melancholy and worrisome, and world-angry or absurdist at others. Kupriss plays with tension, a building up to climaxes reminiscent of Henry James--but with endings that leave a lingering sense of having missed some important detail, some sinister clue that will reveal all meaning. Deceptively simple, nostalgic, and resigned, Kurpriss's characters show how it can be just as hard to arrive somewhere (physical or intangible) as it can be to leave.
Andris Kupriss (1982) is a writer and translator. He studied journalism at the University of Latvia and holds an MA in Photography from Goldsmiths University of London. Berlin is his debut work.
