Simple Stories

Simple Stories

by Ingo Schulze (Author), John E. Woods (Translator)

Synopsis

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.
