*the German word "Fernweh" signifies an aching for the far-away, a painful longing to be far away. It is the inverse of "Heimweh" homesickness, aching for home.

Hannes Becker
A postcard from HANNES BECKER, sent from Berlin, Germany. Hannes is a novelist, a playwright and a translator for English and German. Hannes studied at Deutsches Literaturinstitut Leipzig.
And - the most important thing for me: Hannes is my youngest brother. 10 years younger than me. I left our home close to Frankfurt when Hannes was 9 years old. He moved to Berlin some years later. Now we are living in the same town again, luckily!
