Stefan Heym

Auf Sand gebaut

Built on Sand
C. Bertelsmann, München 1990, 103 pages

Beyond the ebullient national euphoria, Stefan Heym turns his illusionless gaze on the most recent state of the nation. His seven stories, told in the tradition of the American story, are masterpieces, exciting, stamped with sarcastic wit and all ending in surprising clinchers.
