Sven Regener: Frankie and Freddie
with Sven Regener
Two brothers from Bremen, Frankie and Freddie Lehmann, are living in West Berlin in 1980. While one has been trying for weeks to get in with the squatter scene in Kreuzberg, the other plans to escape to New York. To fund his ticket, Freddie checked into a specialized clinic on the Kurfürstendamm to act as a paid guinea pig for experimental antidepressants. And now, one day before New Year’s Eve, he has developed a severe phobia of crowds and public transit, causing him to lose an invaluable travel bag. In his new novel Frankie and Freddie, Sven Regener sends the brothers on a frantic journey through a divided city, a place of fun and freezing cold, rebellion and anarchy, resignation and the fight for survival. This is a book about fraternal loyalty, new beginnings and sudden romances – it is clever, warmhearted and very, very funny.
An unaccompanied reading.
