This profound and moving novella follows the experience of Paul, an Irish engineer in Berlin involved in the renovation of a commercial building in Alexanderplatz. In Love Notes from a German Building Site, Adrian Duncan exposes the fragile architecture of the mind with unrelenting accuracy and sensitivity. Mapping the emotional realities of immigration onto the structural demands of professional existence and the complexities of his relationship with his girlfriend, Evelyn, Paul's daily experiences fragment, collapse and are formed anew. This is at once a treatise on language, memory, building and desire. Adrian Duncan is an Irish writer and artist based in Ireland and Berlin. He trained and worked as a structural engineer for over a decade, received his chartership from the Institute of Engineers Ireland in 2008 and later returned to university to study fine art. His short-form fiction has been published in the Dublin Review, The Stinging Fly, gorse, The Moth, and Meridian (US), among others. He has written a collection of short stories titled Chicken-Lane Manifesto with a collection of non-fiction coming soon.
