Eugen Ruge's autobiographical family saga is a novel about the former East Germany. It traces the story of a family from a staunchly communist couple and their discontented grandson who completely rejects the socialist system.<br />The panel of judges praised Ruge's humor and craftsmanship, saying he had managed to "tame the experiences of four generations over 50 years into a dramatically refined composition". We meet the author at the Book Fair.
