Meinke's poetic skill is evident in his ability to jar a reader with a single line.... He provides insight at arm's length, asking not necessarily that the reader care about the characters yet almost forcing him to understand them.' -- Washington Post Book World Zusammenfassung In The Piano Tuner, Peter Meinke writes of the foreignness that awaits us when we go abroad and when we answer our own front door to admit a stranger, that confronts us in unfamiliar cities and villages and in the equally disquieting surroundings of our memories and regrets.
