dietwoke 's review for:

Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck
4.0

Not at all surprised to find Erpenbeck’s writing (heavily influenced by her ‘privileged’ East German upbringing) is often subject to endless moralising within her country, lest her readers ever forget what became of GDR in the end.


Either way, I expected this to be an intense read, bloated with exhaustive references to a contentious period of time, and it hit a lot harder that I thought.
