Vor Dem Fest by Saša Stanišić
Eine Dorfgeschichte
Set in the fictional village of Fürstenfelde in the former East Germany, this novel weaves together the lives of its quirky inhabitants on the eve of the annual village festival. As night falls, the narrative meanders through the thoughts and memories of a diverse cast of characters, including an elderly night watchman, a rebellious teenager, and a fox with a penchant for mischief. Through a tapestry of folklore, history, and personal anecdotes, the story captures the essence of a community grappling with its past while navigating the uncertainties of the present, all under the shadow of the approaching festivities.
