Frank Demelzi
Description
Frank, an art teacher from Amsterdam, is in Berlin some years after the fall of the Wall to visit friends. A chance encounter with a school-age skater
...
transforms his stay from a relaxed holiday break into a euphoric adventure. What’s puzzling, though, is how little the boy is willing to share about his background. Should Frank just accept having run into an inscrutable sweetheart ‘from Neverland’?
Dancing with Finn includes this and five other varied and moving stories. They range from a hair-raising, hilarious yarn about a turbulent sea crossing, to a trip with a taciturn teen to the northernmost tip of Europe, to the story of a boy’s romance with a nurse as he journeys to discover who his real friends are.
Frank Demelzi combines page-turning storytelling with meticulous attention to style and symbolism. His stories have the makings of classics and will leave the reader the richer for having discovered them.
