The Invention of Curried Sausage is an ingenious, revealing, and
delightful novel about the invention of a popular German sidewalk
food. Uwe Timm has heard claims that currywurst first appeared in
Berlin in the 1950s, but he seems to recall having eaten it much
earlier, as a boy in his native Hamburg, at a stand owned and
operated by Lena Brucker. He decides to check it out. Although the
discovery of curried sausage is eventually explained, it is its
prehistory - about how Lena Brucker met, seduced and held captive a
German deserter in Hamburg, in April, 1945, just before the war's
end-that is the tastiest part. Timm draws gorgeous details from
Lena's fine-grained recollections, and the pleasure these provide
her and the reader supply the tale's real charm."
