The Kreuzberg Sonata

A novel by Richard Jobson set in Berlin, 1979.

Lang, a would-be writer falls in love with Caroline and follows her to Berlin.  They live together in the run-down district of Kreuzberg only a few streets away from the Wall.  In search of his heroes Joseph Roth and Kurt Tucholsky he navigates an island-city inhabited with a cynical mix of punk-squatters, heroin addicts, transvestites, prostitutes and dreamers. As events overtake the young lovers, Lang realises that Berlin is now a city of ghosts where tragedy remains the only certainty.
