The Other and I

When Axel Schauder, author and first-person narrator of this very special, biographical novel, looks back on his life and that of his family, there is a lot to tell: not only the problematic relationship with his father, but also, among other things, the escape from the GDR and various experiences with women in his youth shaped him. The reader gains deep, honest and moving insights as they get to know the many people who have played an important role in the life of the first-person narrator. The story is repeatedly traced back to the starting point, namely the relationship with him, his father.
