Overview

Berlin is a place where brazen ghosts wave to the living, where rock 'n' roll suicides collide with family myths. Small Machine is an intimate portrayal of young womanhood and coming of age in an unforgiving city, the capital known as much for raucous hedonism as it is for Kaffee-und-Kuchen. Falling in love (and out) in Schillerkiez, clandestine encounters in smoke-filled Kneipen, nighttime dances by the Spree, winter depressions weathered, summer lakes plundered- no cobble is left unturned in Anter's soaring debut.

"""Striking, luminous and soothing, in Anter's realm, sadness is not a sour or unwelcome thing, but worthy of tender examination. This book celebrates existing through the moments we once believed to be unbearable."" - Chanel Miller ""Tender, visceral, beautifully vulnerable."" - Musa Okwonga ""A layered and joyous exploration of life in all of its complexities. Gets you in the gut, the heart and the soul. A must read."" - Cat Hepburn ""An achingly beautiful Berlin journey of colour and courage, coiled fear and love's lushness, sunned summer skin and dawns of swirled raspberry; poems that grasp for the truest words and bring joy into the world."" - Rory Maclean ""Small Machine is a finely creative and painfully good love letter. It is a love letter to Berlin, to being 27, a love letter, even, to sorrow itself. There are books that put you in another life and books that make you grateful for life itself - this one is both."" - Erin Fornoff"
