Set in 1990 in the small Thuringian town of Altenburg, the author 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.

An international bestseller from the most exciting new German writer of the last decade 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. Already-an international bestseller this is a powerful novel from Germany's best young writer.

Ingo Schulze, born in Dresden in 1962, studied classical philology at the University of Jena. He worked as the dramaturg at the Altenburg Theater until 1990, and then became a newspaper editor, a job that took him to St. Petersburg for six months in 1993. Since then he has lived in Berlin. His first book, 33 Moments of Happines won both the prestigious Doblin Prize and the Willner Prize for Literature.
