Gesine Cresspahl‘s diary, generally in 3rd person, is half present day New York City, August 1967 to August 1968, peppered with NYTimes headlines. And half her childhood in Germany before, during and after WW2…and she was on the other side of the Iron Curtain, in the eastern GDR. An odd love/hate to lonely capitalist NYC, and an ode to survival in and, to the ghosts of, eastern Germany. #uwe
