One of the great contemporary European writers takes on Europe's biggest
issue. Richard has spent his life as a university professor, immersed in
the world of books and ideas, but now he is retired, his books remain in
their packing boxes and he steps into the streets of his city, Berlin.
Here, on Oranienplatz, he discovers a new community -- a tent city,
established by African asylum seekers. Hesitantly, getting to know the
new arrivals, Richard finds his life changing, as he begins to question
his own sense of belonging in a city that once divided its citizens into
them and us.
At once a passionate contribution to the debate
on race, privilege and nationality and a beautifully written examination
of an ageing man's quest to find meaning in his life, Go, Went, Gone
showcases one of the great contemporary European writers at the height
of her powers.
