"The story of "The Deluge over Norderney" follows the Decameron template of several people from very different cultural/social backgrounds taking refuge during a disaster (this time a flood) and telling stories from either their own lives or from history, they find relevant to the present state of affairs. In other words, this is an anthology of thematically related stories nested WITHIN such an anthology." — Jul 24, 2025 01:10AM

“Stories are like snapshots, pictures snatched out of time, with clean hard edges. But this was life, and life always begins and ends in a bloody muddle, womb to tomb, just one big mess, a can of worms left to rot in the sun.”
