Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

They taught us the world has two colours: white and black. Wolf and meat. Victor and vanquished. And that whoever stands in the middle has no colour at all.Then life comes, and teaches us otherwise.The Gray is a novel in five self-contained tales, each a portrait of an ordinary human being pushed to the single moment that reveals their true colour.A hardened man, alone at the end of his life, learns from a small creature in a river what a lifetime of never bending truly cost him. Two couples sit down to a dinner that becomes a quiet duel over what love really is. A mother hands her own son to his jailers - to save his life - and carries the weight of being hated for twenty years. A grieving father clones his dead child, then tries to force the living boy to become a ghost. And five friends commit one careless act of cruelty on an ordinary afternoon - the afternoon that decides who each of them will become for the rest of their lives.Five stories. Five crossroads. One question that runs beneath them all, and refuses to let go: Who truly survived - the one who held to their colour until they lost everything, or the one who learned to live in the gray?For readers of literary fiction that lingers long after the last page - stories about conscience, survival, and the quiet cost of the choices no one prepares us to make.Read. Then decide which colour you choose to live by.
