Book synopsis

With his award-winning story collection, 33 Moments of Happiness, Ingo Shulze established himself as a vital new voice of German fiction. With his first novel he enhances his status as a writer of singular ability.Simple Stories is a wry and poignant narrative set in the East German town of Altenburg after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Jumping among an array of confused characters caught in the crossroads of their country's history, Schulze masterfully intercuts various enigmatic vignettes, gradually linking them into an exhilarating whole of tidal emotional force. With his piercing eye for detail and magical ear for dialogue, Schulze reveals the tragi-comedy of ordinary people caught up in the last great historical upheaval of the century.
