Narration Conducive To Books Berlin Wild

A Jewish boy is hidden from the Nazis in a laboratory dedicated to genetic studies of flies, which is poignantly ironic . He develops a virtual family among the technicians who work there and lives mainly off the corn meal used to feed the larvae. Information about the Holocaust is only filtered in indirectly, which is effective in the same way that violence is usually left to the imagination in Hitchcock movies. The boy evolves a resilient model of reality and humanity from the simple ingredients of what relationships and play he can sustain in this protected environment. The title and metaphor for the book relates to how at the end of the madness of war, he represents the "wild type" or un-mutated form of humanity. Very moving and beautiful.

Criticism Of Books Berlin Wild

Utterly believable characters coping somehow with the madness of the 3rd Reich in a weirdly believable sanctuary in Berlin. The book alternates between that time for the 16-year-old Jewish protagonist and his crisis two decades later when he at last forgives himself for surviving. The pain is vivid, the comedy, too. I want to read it again, immediately.

I am biased because my beloved grandmother wrote this novel, based on the life of her second husband. But I also truly believe this is a wonderful novel funny, heartbreaking, true in a way that goes far beyond its literal truth (though a surprising amount of it is the literal truth!) and recommend it to anyone and everyone. It feels particularly relevant now as we struggle to live in a world that feels less comprehensible by the day.

Berlin Wild is a wonderfully written book about a half Jewish, half German man who was put to work in a mysterious scientific institute at the age of sixteen. It has the perfect amount of tragedy, drama, sensuality, and comedy to express the experiences of the character Josef Bernhardt throughout his stunning life.

This is my second time reading Berlin Wild, so obviously I liked it enough to reread. I am just a fan of books set in Berlin. Maybe because that's where I was born.
