The story of a summer in 1959
Flensburg, 1959. Gustav Hasse, pianist in a swing-and-rock-n-roll student band, spends the summer vacation at a campsite by Gelting Bay. His thoughts are with Johanna, the daughter of a lingerie saleswoman from East Prussia. If only it weren't for the slap he gave her out of jealousy. He feels guilty, but what is guilt to him? His art teacher is the painter Gerhard Fritz Hensel, whose sister Hedwig was married to the Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höß; no one knows that at the time. More and more, Gustav is getting to the bottom of the monstrous large and small things. A novel about love, guilt, and gradual understanding, told with laconic poetry.
