Mark Traid: Lemonade, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Lemonade traces the quiet, unremarkable journey of a single lemon, following its passage from orchard to table and the many unseen hands it passes through. What begins as a simple observation unfolds into a reflective exploration of value, labour, and the meanings we attach to ordinary things. Each short chapter offers a minimalist vignette-precise, understated, and centred on how significance is created, transferred, or lost through everyday systems.

Rather than building a conventional plot, the book invites the reader into a slow, contemplative space where attention itself becomes the narrative engine. The lemon becomes a lens: a way of seeing how work is hidden, how perception shapes desire, and how something grown with care can be overlooked or discarded without a second thought.

Written in spare, economical prose, Lemonade sits at the intersection of literary fiction and philosophical inquiry. It rewards reflection, asking the reader to consider how small objects and small moments quietly structure the human search for meaning.
