Kaiser Street
DuMont Verlag, Köln 2006, 317 pages
Kaiserstraße is Judith Kuckart’s fifth and probably best novel. [...] The plot integrates the major political events of the decade that saw the first student disturbances in Berlin during the visit of the Shah of Iran, the murder of Benno Ohnesorg, the ‘German autumn’ with the abduction of Hanns-Martin Schleyer, Mogadishu, the corpses at Stammheim, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Wende after the Wende. [...] Fifty years of German history forcefully, beautifully and sadly narrated through a handful of characters.
