An East German schoolteacher is jolted into an awareness of his mortality by a seeming heart attack. The actions he takes afterword put him on a collision course with the state in which he has painlessly, if numbly, lived his life. The results, while harsh, are not unwelcome as he finds a new vitality in a world seen through new eyes. Translated by Leila Vennewitz.
