Ingo Schulze is an artful storyteller and an engaged political writer. In his stories and novels, from 33 Augenblicke des Glücks to Die rechtschaffenen Mörder, he writes in a masterly way about social developments. Literature and art can alter perspectives, counteract isolation and work against the lame 'more of the same'. On various occasions, Ingo Schulze reflects on the joyous as well as the problematic experiences of 1989/90, which shape our world to this day. He illuminates the consequences of increasing polarisation and radicalisation in all areas of life. And he insists on the precedence of the common good and a just global public policy. This volume brings together central texts by this critical and self-critical thinker. 'Criticism requires locating your own blind spots.'
