Prize-winning German writer Ingo Schulze's first novel, Simple Stories , is a marvel of storytelling and craft. Set in the East German town of Altenburg after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it deftly leaps among an array of confused characters caught in the crossroads of their country’s history: a lovelorn waitress who falls for a visiting West German investor; an art historian turned traveling salesman; a former Communist official plagued by his past; an unsuccessful writer who asks his neighbor to break his leg so that he can continue to live on welfare.
Schulze skillfully intercuts an assortment of moving and comic vignettes about seemingly unconnected people, gradually linking them into an exhilarating whole of tidal unity and emotional force, until we see that all the time we have been reading a novel in glittering fragments, spun by a master. With a piercing eye for detail and a magical ear for dialogue, Schulze portrays the tragi-comedy of ordinary people caught up in the last great historical upheaval of the century.

前后读了五六遍才理清楚出场人物之间的关系
评分需要反复看和沉淀的一本书。对历史不了解的人只能读到表面无聊的故事。十几个角色，几条明线，更多暗线，东德的他们被一条reunification的网罩着，试图挣扎，无法摆脱，焦躁，回归不了平静。这本书里没有政治正确，只有小人物的无奈和辛酸。所以又多出很多超现实画面，UFO，鳄鱼的眼，诺亚方舟，海里的鱼。
