GO WENT GONE

Description

Richard, a retired university professor, has found a surprising new community on Oranienplatz – among the African asylum seekers who have set up a tent city there. Hesitantly, as he gets to know them, Richard finds his life changing, and he begins to questions his own sense of belonging.

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.
