1000 Coils of Fear

Více o knize

A young woman attends a play about the Berlin Wall coming down and is the only Black person in the audience. She is sat with her boyfriend by a bathing lake and four neo-Nazis show up. In New York, she witnesses Trump's election victory in a strange hotel room and later awakes to panicked messages from friends. Engaging in a witty question and answer with herself, the narrator looks at our rapidly changing times and tells the story of her family: her mother, who was a punk in East Germany and never had the freedom she dreamed of; her absent Angolan father; and, in the background of it all, the memory of her twin brother, who died when they were nineteen.
