lyrareadsbooks's review against another edition
3.0
Mixed bag and very German. Offers a glimpse into post-reunification life.
quintusmarcus's review
3.0
Good collection of short stories--more polished than the St. Petersburg stories, but perhaps a little less inspired. Schulze is fairly unique in his Eastward orientation: his focus remains on East Germany and eastern Europe in general. Although illuminating, I can't unreservedly recommend Schulze: his stories can be quite opaque and it's sometimes quite difficult to see what he's getting at. I'm not sure that it's worth the struggle.
