I'll be sure to join you then.<br /><br />I also loved Timm's Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, though I did not read it in German. (Invention of Curried Sausage, I believe, is the English title.) I'd like to read more of Timm's work.<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-80961769666530596632011-07-07T02:26:18.638-04:002011-07-07T02:26:18.638-04:00Hello Judith,

I'm planning a German Literature Month in November. I find it frustrating that some of the best books have not been translated and reviewing them on an English blog is a bit unfair but I will still do so in November. <br />I read Uwe Timm's Die Entdeckung der Currywurst which I think is such a great novel. I also want to read this one. It is sort of shocking to think that the same elements that helped Nazism to succeed were still present after the war.Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-76729498131029873632011-07-05T16:23:00.885-04:002011-07-05T16:23:00.885-04:00Thank you, Ann,

I knit, too, and I do find that humidity and heat keep me many yards away from my wooly projects!<br /><br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-29883102005293492962011-07-05T11:33:44.439-04:002011-07-05T11:33:44.439-04:00Interesting post.

What are rages among the older generation, but a feeling of impotence against what they have lost?<br /><br />My mother was an afterthought as well, which is why my grandfather was born in 1883!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-59384117290330881832011-07-04T18:21:31.368-04:002011-07-04T18:21:31.368-04:00This sounds like a very different experience from ...This sounds like a very different experience from my German pen-pal's family. Her father was just angry that they had lost, his Nazi medals were proudly displayed and his children were all terrified of him and his rages. <br /><br />I'm the afterthought too!Katrinahttp://piningforthewest.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
