Accident: a Day's News by Christa Wolf

An East German writer, awaiting a call from the hospital where her brother is undergoing brain surgery, instead receives news of a massive nuclear accident at Chernobyl, one thousand miles away. In the space of a single day, in a potent, lyrical stream of thought, the narrator confronts both mortality and life and above all, the import of each moment lived-open, as Wolf reveals, to infinite analysis.

Christa Wolf (1929-2011) was a well-known German author throughout the twentieth century. Wolf is the author of many books, including The Hunt for Christa T., Patterns of Childhood, and Cassandra, and was a key player in East German literature and politics.
