Berlin

A book is a book.
However I am enjoying this one. I like the Historicity of it, not just fact but emotions of the moment. I think capturing the style of life during a historical moment is difficult for a historical text to do, but any art piece makes it more comprehendible. Berlin compiles two of the most complementary forms that allow for emotional expression, art and literature. I think the novel should be assigned in history classes that cover WWII instead of dry historical articles. It would be refreshing and educational for the class.
