Forensic doctor Michael Tsokos on new paths: GDR novel instead of true crime. “Heinz Labensky – and his view of things’ is a picaresque novel.

It tells the story of a man who was influenced by growing up in the GDR and goes on a journey. The style of the novel is somewhat reminiscent of “The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared” by Jonas Jonasson.
