Description
Twenty years after the fall of the wall, Alina and Wolf's Kreuzberg district home has become unbearably trendy. They move to Müggelsee, at the city's bucolic border, where East and West differences still linger. However, their comfortable apartment routine soon becomes suffocating for Wolf.
His infidelity grows as he escapes into a torrid affair with an old girlfriend. As his struggle deepens, so does the hell of his concealment. Ralf Rothmann's dark exploration of erotic desire and emotion is both intense and tragic, offering an extraordinary rediscovery of place.
A masterful work by one of Germany's most gifted writers, Fire Doesn't Burn is a gripping tale that probes the complexities of reunification and human connection.
