Jenny Erpenbeck Quotes

Her Body Is A City. Her Heart Is A Large Shady Square, Her Fingers Pedestrians, Her Hair The Light Of Streetlamps, Her Knees Two Rows Of Buildings. She Tries To Give People Footpaths. She Tries To Open Up Her Cheeks And Her Towers. She Didn't Know Streets Hurt So Much, Not That There Were So Many Streets In Her To Begin With. She Wants To Take Her Body On A Stroll, Out Of Her Body, But She Doesn't Know Where The Key Is.
