Abstract
Julia Schoch’s novel is part of the wide range of works that have addressed the past of East Germany from different points of view in the last decades. In her text Schoch tells the story of two sisters whose childhood and youth occur in a small and remote town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern near to the Polish border. The special features of this place and its surroundings serve as a starting point, twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, to reconstruct the past of the main characters in East Germany before and after the unification. This article explores the relationship between space and memory in Julia Schoch’s Mit der Geschwindigkeit des Sommers.Downloads
