Dark blue trousers

Translation Elias Hajoj number of pages: 159 from a lost magical kingdom - from West Germany in the seventies and eighties. For most people, the trousers are more than a piece of cloth. But that is not the case for the narrator of this extraordinary novel. Perhaps it is because he met on that day, when he wore his dark blue trousers for the first time, a young woman. Followed by a Berlin love story, a journey along the Rhine and to childhood of a generation. Thus was the Federal Republic of Germany, as remembered by the hero of David Wagner's debut novel, who narrates with lightness, intelligence, and great linguistic talent a clever and smooth De Vilt in its structure and very enjoyable.
