Synopsis:

Nobel Prize-winner Heinrich Boll's recently discovered stories evoke the pathos of the human condition and the mysteries of everyday life with the grace of Joyce's "Dubliners". These ten previously unpublished stories written during World War II are, to use Boll's own language, "as sad as a child's funeral" and are more relevant today than ever before.

Review:

"...[N]early every story is superb, and one wonders why they never saw print before....This collection is...an important one in its own right....The depth of Boll's vision into the human soul can be breathtaking."

Hart Williams, Washington Post Book World, 09/07/1997

Review:

"Sorrow has always formed the most palpable current in Býll's fiction...; his work is a fitting elegy for the 20th century."

Brian Lennon, Boston Book Review, November 1997
