Summary
Ingo Schulze: Čestite ubice
In this novel about the fate of a lover of books and reading, a peaceful and apolitical man, the author narrates how social and political changes in the east of Germany since the fall of 1989 have gradually changed people's identity. Norbert Paulini is a well-known Dresden book dealer in whose antique shop passionate book lovers have for years found hidden treasures and met like-minded people who have devoted their lives to literature. However, with political and social changes, the antiquarian, Paulini's life's work, is financially failing, and there are fewer and fewer buyers. He first loses his job, then his family, and finally his apartment.
At the same time, he himself changes: he becomes bitter, angry and angry. Once an honest and kind man, unreservedly, soul and body devoted to books and reading, becomes reactionary, flirts with the right-wing movement, is accused of involvement in homophobic incidents. With the collapse of the GDR, the system of values also changes, the illusions about the world of justice and security disappear piece by piece, and unscrupulous rough play is taken over by capital, sparing neither the reader nor the writer. The novel begins as a fairy tale, and turns into an attempt to clarify the causes of the polarization of society and its consequences.
The oxymoron in the title itself suggests the answers; its end is in sight, but the questions are still open...
