Simple Stories by Ingo Schulze
Set in 1990, following the collapse of the Berlin Wall, Ingo Schulze presents scenes from post-unification life in the small Thuringian town of Altenburg. In a laconic, unsentimental style reminiscent of the stories of Raymond Carver, Schulze portrays a society marked by unemployment and casual racial violence. Ordinary life struggles to adapt in the aftermath of the Berlin Wall, where the deeds of the East–West past are no longer secret. `Our new epic storyteller’ Günter Grass
