The Berlin Wall has just fallen when the East German couple Inge und Walter, following a secret dream they've harboured all their lives, set out for life in the West. Carl, their son, refuses to keep watch over the family home and instead heads to Berlin, where he lives in his father's car until he is taken in by a group of squatters. Led by a shepherd and his goat, the pack of squatters sets up the first alternative bar in East Berlin and are involved in guerrilla occupations. And it's with them that Carl, trained as a bricklayer, finds himself an initiate of anarchy, of love, and above all of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Seiler tells a story of freedom in a poetically-precise style.’ \u003cem\u003eDer Spiegel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'With its ample narrative and powerful imagination, \u003cem\u003eStar 111\u003c\/em\u003e is the “Wenderoman” par excellence, the great novel of the “turn”, as German reunification is called.’ Christine Lecerf, \u003cem\u003eLe Monde des livres\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40954326941793,"sku":"9781913505745","price":15.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_26962018.jpg?v=1721386708","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781913505745-star-111","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
