"A report from a land more foreign than the moon" (Elke Heidenreich). Jana Hensel was thirteen when the Berlin Wall fell. From one day to the next, her childhood was over. The familiar things of everyday life in East Germany vanished virtually overnight—suddenly, the West was everywhere, the border was open, and so was history. An entire generation set about rediscovering the changed country. Jana Hensel tells of her life in limbo between East and West. "Jana Hensel has already created a small monument to the first all-German generation—with linguistic laconicism, lightness, and a radiant transparency." (Der Spiegel) Biography: Jana Hensel, born in Leipzig in 1976, studied in Leipzig, Marseille, Berlin, and Paris. In 1999, she became editor of the Leipzig literary magazine "Edit," and in 2000, she co-edited the online anthology "Null" (with Thomas Hettche). Jana Hensel lives in Berlin. New product
