After his epoch-making Dresden novel The Tower, Uwe Tellkamp now takes us on a journey to another, nameless city. A city with a Serapion Theater, a Nautical Academy, and a bazaar; a city where the houses have sensitive cheeks, the whalers rust in the old grain harbor, and the people dream counterclockwise. Delicate and ethereal, colorful and polyphonic: Uwe Tellkamp presents a poem in forty chapters with Journey to the Blue City, and together they create the image of a magical place whose inhabitants are in search of the "real blue.".
