Almost twenty years after the fall of the wall, the Kreuzberg
district of Berlin has become unbearably trendy and deeply
unappealing to Alina and Wolf. They move to Muggelsee, at the
city's bucolic border, where the differences between East and West
have not yet faded and strange encounters with men from the
vanished republic are still a part of daily life. But there, Wolf
finds himself increasingly strained by the triviality of his daily
routine with Alina. The monotony of life in their comfortable
apartment gives way, however, when an old girlfriend surfaces and
Wolf escapes his boredom into a torrid affair. As Wolf's struggle
with his infidelity grows, so grows the hell of his concealment.
Called "a grand master of his craft" by Neue Zurcher Zeitung, and
"among the best and brightest that contemporary German literature
has to offer" by Fuldaer Zeitung, Ralf Rothmann is one of Germany's
most gifted writers. "Fire Doesn't Burn" is a dark recasting of the
delicate reunification of East and West as a chronicle of erotic
desire and an extraordinary rediscovery of emotion and place.
