Die Entdeckung der CurryWurst by Uwe Timm

faintgirl's review against another edition

4.0

This is a little joy of a book! I've been hoping to find it at a book shop for ages, as the title is brilliant, and I was finally successful. It's a little book, and a simple one, where the narrator gets back in touch with old Mrs Brucker from Hamburg, in an attempt to discern whether it was her that invented the German favourite currywurst in the final days of World War II. It's a simple, human tale, with human, a small touch of despair, and a little bit of history. Quick, quirky and fun.

Another one of those books we read in school. I suppose it was a well enough read, but certainly nothing special and at some places I couldn't quite catch the sense of it all. I'll probably not read it again.

Einfach schön zu lesen. Niedlich geschrieben (auch wenn das vielleicht eine etwas hinkende Beschreibung sein mag) und ein bißchen rührselig. Jedenfalls sehr viel besser, als der Titel vermuten lässt.
Ich hätte mir nur für direkte wörtliche Rede Gänsefüßchen gewünscht, weil mich deren Fehlen hin und wieder etwas irritiert hat.
