In \"Kollwitzstrasse,\" as the narrator muses on former East Berlin's new bourgeois health food stores, so popular with wealthy young people, a ghost boy begs her to buy him the old-fashioned sweets he craves. She worries that sugar's still sugar--but why lecture him, since he's already dead? Then white feathers fall from her head and she seems to be turning into a crane . . . Pure white kittens and a great Russian poet haunt \"Majakowskiring\" the narrator who reveres Mayakovsky's work is delighted to meet his ghost. And finally, in \"Pushkin Allee,\" a huge Soviet-era memorial of soldiers comes to life--and, \"for a scene of carnage everything was awfully well-ordered.\" Each of these stories opens up into new dimensions the work of this magisterial writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.07 x 6.26 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 27, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42164394852487,"sku":"9780811229302","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/63ea6e945493e7a30ad114aa2ad8f78e.webp?v=1733305388","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/three-streets-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
