The Weather in Berlin
I originally read this in print in October, 2004, but after I read Robert Hellenga's Love, Death, and Rare Books, I realized that his writing reminded me of Just's, so I came back for a re-reading. Here, the protagonist is a film maker and this is a book about story and his skill as a raconteur. His taking of a story and making a film and needing to know the backstory of his characters. It explorates the idea of story, the technique of taking a deep dive inside a story. Just writes with a welcoming cadence that pulls readers in; strong characterizations, measured pacing, expansive storyline as he explores what happened to East Germans after 1950s. Intriguing story, beautifully written.
