Book
Inspired by two dystopian Science Fiction novels of the last century, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932, and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, published in 1949, Berliner looks at life in Berlin through the eyes of an optimist, anticipating the collapse of communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall, in the 1980s, and from the point of view of a pessimist a decade later, after German Reunification. The optimist believes he will in the Future, with a capital letter F, transcend his opera professors in Vienna and become a rich and famous rock star, mainly by virtue of playing a widow’s baby grand. His friend, the pessimist, directs postmodern plays and is an English teacher, living together with an expat girlfriend. Unfortunately, we never hear from the optimist again. He changed his name.
”You all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspired saying of Our Ford’s: History is bunk.” Mustapha Mond (speaker), Brave New World.
The book closes with a performance of one-act “Greek” plays in which the characters, Helen and Moses, are agents of the literary variety.
Berliner weighs in at 50,000 words, mixed narrative and dramatic dialog, prose fiction consisting to about 30% of drama.
Genre
Historical romance meets the future.
Description

Someone please point me to an online bookstore that sells mystery ebooks.
Murder One Bookshop in Charing Cross Road, London closed its doors for the final time at the end of Janaury 2009.
They sell books online, no ebooks, last time I looked.
My partner and I absolutely love your counter-clock clock.
Do you still accept work like that?
I wouldn’t mind a counter-clock clock hanging in my office.
Again, awesome!

Connective tissue. (?) Characters act, connecting the tissue.
Amazon’s print-on-demand book contains two additional chapters in dialogic form that I have not yet added to the ebook.
