  • When I Was German on Sep. 20, 2013

    German is as human and real as it gets. And honest, brutally so, for it reveals the various tendrils of hope, angst, and pain that beget us -- the tiny betrayals and promises that stalk our lives. Told through the eyes of a small boy caught between two warring parents. And like that small boy we wonder at times should we be listening? Should we be peering through this door? Then we turn the page in want to witness more. Not entertaining so much as riveting. For here the author wields his pen like a scapel to expose the raw soul of self and others -- all the sorry, joyful, wretched mix of us. And does so bravely, in blistering, graphic detail.
