Read this for literature class and was left somewhat confused. But once you dig below the surface, the daily lives of the characters melt into the larger history of East and West Germany with a somber focus on many problems of an old system, as well as the problems that came with the “reunion“ of the two nations.

Morbid yet somewhat moving as well?

Better in German. :) Something in the author's tone, word choice, dialect makes me feel painfully at home.

هي الرواية\القصص مش وحشة في حد ذاتها. بس معرفتش اندمج فيها مطلقًا، ومكنتش عارفه احفظ مين بيعمل إيه وده كان مين وإيه علاقتهم ببعض.
رواية مُشتِتة ومقدرتش اكملها حتى.
