Book cocked, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Translated from the German by Margot Bettauer Dembo. Aftertime is the moving story of one woman's coming to grips with her small place in history, and with that history's enormous impact on her life. It is the story of a destiny obscured by statistics and abstractions and has great resonance for all people living uneasily with technology in the twentieth century. 8.75"x6", 116 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Aftertime is the story of a young woman's struggle to come to grips with the aftermath of a devastating catastrophe. In her last year at the university in Kiev and shortly before she is to take her final examinations, the narrator is persuaded by her roommate to go for a cruise on a large lake north of the city. While her friends dance in the ballroom below ship, the young woman stands on deck, enjoying the tranquil evening. Sixty miles away, a nuclear reactor explodes. In the days that follow, the official version of events minimizes the risks. Conflicting instructions are issued; people are warned to stay indoors, yet reassured that there is no danger. Reports of the death toll are revised from two thousand to a mere twenty, then back again. Rumors proliferate; there is panic. Denial and deception characterize the public pronouncements. Returning to Berlin, the young woman recognizes with mounting horror the symptoms that belie the Soviet governments disavowals, and she immerses herself in denial; she becomes obsessed with having a healthy baby, the only proof to herself and to the world that she has been untouched by the disaster. She suffers a miscarriage, embarks on a path of startling promiscuity, and suffers a second. Getting no adequate guidance or explanation from her doctors, the woman makes a final, desperate bid to seize control of her destiny. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A unique historical and literary document of lives dislocated by the collapse of East Germany.What happens when the world in which people have crafted identities for themselves and lived their lives suddenly disappears? How does a person -- or a nation -- confront such a shock? From 1990 to 1993, at an unparalleled momentin German history, Olaf Georg Klein interviewed almost a hundred fellow former East German citizens, probing their experiences of the sudden collapse of the German Democratic Republic, then crafting that material into twelve first-person narratives. The result is a literary account whose narrators include representatives from the cities and the countryside, from young and old, from the East German power elite and the resistance, as well as from those in position to be critical of both the GDR and united Germany. The book was a sensation in Germany upon its publication in 1994, and the translation will be of interest to students and scholars in history and political science, sociology, psychology, and literary studies. It includes an introduction and extensive annotations to assist the reader in understanding the East German and unified German contexts. Olaf Georg Klein's novel Aftermath was published in translation by Northwestern University Press in 1999. Ann McGlashan is Associate Professor of German and Dwight D. Allman is Associate Professor of Political Science, both at Baylor University.…
