Description
In this evocative collection of short stories, Wolfgang Hilbig navigates the fractured landscapes of postwar East Germany with a haunting, surrealist precision. His prose captures the pervasive sense of alienation and existential dread experienced by those living under the shadow of state surveillance, blending the mundane with the grotesque to reveal the hidden fissures of a society in decline.
