Ein Doppelgänger
Aus jugendlichem Leichtsinn, weniger aus krimineller Energie, ist John Hansen straffällig geworden und versucht nach der Rückkehr in die Heimat, wieder Fuß zu fassen. Mit seiner Frau Hanna und seiner Tochter Christine lebt er in einer Kate am Dorfrand, wird den Ruf des Zuchthäuslers aber nicht los. Die Last der Vergangenheit erschwert ihm das Leben; John findet immer seltener Arbeit. Bei einem Streit mit seiner Frau zerbricht schließlich auch sein häusliches Glück. Sophie Nicklas hat für ihre unkonventionellen Illustrationen der Novelle den Gestalterpreis der Büchergilde erhalten.
