RARE BOOKS Cover may not depict edition offered for sale Heroes like us by Thomas Brussig About this title: Klaus works for the secret police in East Berlin during the Cold War, but spends most of his time doing pointless surveillance work among his family and neighbors while his parents try to keep young Klaus's sexual urges under control. Then, when he is 21, a weird accident drastically alters the size of his penis. This comic satire is one of the first German novels to examine the downfall of former East Germany.

Extractions: When you think Berlin Wall, you think guard towers, land mines, Richard Burton dodging searchlights in The Spy Who Came in From the Cold unpromising terrain for a comic novel. But East Berliner Thomas Brussig disagrees. ''East Germany makes a good story,'' the 34-year-old novelist says. ''There were so many absurd situations.'' Brussig's original take has made him one of Germany's hottest authors. His 1994 novel set around the fall of the Berlin Wall, published in English as Heroes Like Us , was a best-seller; a film is scheduled for local release in November. Brussig also wrote the screenplay for the just-released film The Short End of Sunshine Alley , a comedy about puberty in the Wall's shadow, and turned it into a novel as well. Der Spiegel , the German newsmagazine, recently put him on the cover with up-and-coming poets and novelists. Through Brussig's eyes, the Berlin Wall is more ridiculous than threatening. When a border guard's stray bullet strikes a youth in the chest, a Rolling Stones album stuffed in his coat saves him. Far from relieved, the teenager is enraged that his rare prize from the West has been ruined. ''I don't write about the Wall as something fearful, rather as something that was degraded to an everyday object,'' Brussig says. He is part of a new generation of German authors whose writing is less burdened by the past than postwar authors such as Gunter Grass, who won this year's Nobel Prize for Literature. ''My books are not about how East Germany was, but about how it's remembered,'' he says. The author, who still lives in eastern Berlin, submitted his first novel to a publisher the day the Wall came down. If it weren't for that event, Germans might not be enjoying Brussig's works today.

Extractions: Denn wir sind anders: Zonenkinder in the Federal Republic Owen Evans, Swansea The period since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany has seen a dramatic flowering of literary talent from the old East. Over the past few years, following a trail blazed by authors such as Thomas Brussig and Ingo Schulze, a new group of younger authors has also emerged, whose autobiographical work has been striking for its apparent ambivalence about the Wende. While this reaction may not constitute Ostalgie, it remains sceptical of life in the new Germany. This article explores debut publications by Jana Simon, Jana Hensel and Claudia Rusch, all members of the so-called Zonenkinder group. It traces their responses to the way in which they feel their childhood has been stolen from them with the Abwicklung of the GDR. This article will elucidate how these authors are now joining the debate about the transformation process, as representatives of this generation that was largely mute during the Wende. Following the Literaturstreit which engulfed German culture in the 1990s and posed questions as to what, if anything, should be the GDRs literary legacy in the new Germany, it is striking that a vibrant new literature has emerged in the twenty-first century from a generation born into the GDR in the early 1970s. They were in their mid- to late-teens as the Wall fell and their experiences of the rapid socio-political changes that followed have left them with a unique perspective on the present, caught in a tension between past and future. This particular neue deutsche Welle was anticipated in the mid-1990s by the success of authors such as Thomas Brussig and Ingo Schulze, whose work has been the subject of much critical and academic scrutiny in recent years.
