Books
Thomas Brussig's classic German satire is a comedic, moving account of life in East Berlin before the Fall of the Berlin Wall. 'The Short End of the Sonnenallee', is a satire set, literally, on the Sonnenallee, the famed 'boulevard of the sun' in East Berlin. Within this boulevard lives Michael, an adolescent who faces daily ridicule whenever he steps out of his apartment building and comes into view of the observation platform on the West side.
