Simple StoriesPrize winning German writer Ingo Schulze's first novel, Simple Stories, is a marvel of storytelling and craft.

Prize-winning German writer Ingo Schulze's first novel, Simple Stories, is a marvel of storytelling and craft. Set in the East German town of Altenburg after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it deftly leaps among an array of confused characters caught in the crossroads of their country's history: a lovelorn waitress who falls for a visiting West German investor; an art historian turned traveling salesman; a former Communist official plagued by his past; an unsuccessful writer who asks his neighbor to break his leg so that he can continue to live on welfare.Schulze skillfully intercuts an assortment of moving and comic vignettes about seemingly unconnected people, gradually linking them into an exhilarating whole of tidal unity and emotional force, until we see that all the time we have been reading a novel in glittering fragments, spun by a master. With a piercing eye for detail and a magical ear for dialogue, Schulze portrays the tragi-comedy of ordinary people caught up in the last great historical upheaval of the century.

It’s a hit!
Color: Brown Grey Camo, Size: Large
I picked on of these up after seeing it online. I have multiple Maelreg items and all are great quality. They are my go to golf and casual clothing brand. Super comfortable, soft, light weight, and perfect fit. Olive on the east coast and this color is all the rage in the area. These are some of the best value 1/4 zips out there.
