This novel portrays life in post-reunification Leipzig through fragmented episodes. Meyer captures disillusionment, violence, and survival on society’s margins. The prose is raw and unpolished. Voices overlap without resolution. The city itself becomes a fractured character. Bleak, immersive, and unflinching.
