Description
Set in Berlin during the final years of the Weimar Republic, this celebrated collection follows an observant young English writer as he encounters an unforgettable circle of artists, outsiders, lovers, and political drifters. Through interconnected stories of friendship, desire, nightlife, and uncertainty, the book captures a city alive with creative energy even as extremism gathers strength around it. Combining sharp social observation with vivid, understated prose, it offers both an intimate portrait of individual lives and a haunting record of a society on the brink of transformation.
