This 1991 book of essays explores the situation in Germany after the wall came down as well as other subjects, such as Asians in Berlin and German attitudes toward dogs. A year after reunification, one of Germany's sharpest writers takes a penetrating look at the minor disruptions and dramas caused by the fall of the wall. A delight to read, but also has a message about Germany's future and insular views. The author argues that the real fear about the new Germany is not the rise of neo-Nazism, but of a cult of righteousness, with its concomitant mistrust of foreigners and especially the threat of the creation of a moral vacuum for a nation so intent on forgetting the ghosts that haunt its past.
