Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall by Anna Funder

4.0

Excellent and heartbreaking. Almost more of a novel - it's written in first person from the author's perspective. The stories highlight how relentless and frankly, bizarre the GDR was. I would have appreciated a "crunchier," more academic tome, but this is more of memoir/journalistic foray. Highly recommend.
