Was soll aus dem Jungen bloß werden? Oder: Irgendwas mit Büchern by Heinrich Böll

2.0

Böll used to be one of my favorite authors, but I'd never read this memoir. An interesting story about growing up after the Nazi takeover in Germany in the 1930s, but clearly from his later years, when his literary skills were somewhat fading (although perhaps it was the translation, which somehow didn't work for me). Nothing one could never live without here, but a worthy quick little read.
