Parting from Phantoms is a window into the soul of the most prominent writer of the German Democratic Republic and its most famous export, Christa Wolf. The essays, diary entries, and letters in this book document four agonizing years in Wolf's personal history and paint a vivid portrait of the cultural and political situation in the former German Democratic Republic. This collection stands as an important testimony to the personal and cultural costs of German reunification.'The works in this book constitute an essential document of the history of reunified Germany, and this alone recommends it to scholars and those interested in current European events.' Publishers Weekly'Christa Wolf was arguably the most influential writer of a nation that no longer exists. . . . Parting from Phantoms traces the fever chart of her anguish. . . . In some ways, the rawness of the present volume is its greatest contribution, and its bona fidestestifying to the human cost of deception and selfdeception.'Todd Gitlin, Nation'A thrilling display of ideological soulsearching.'Ilan Stavans, Newsday, Favorite Books of 1997
