A Young Man in Times of Crisis
Hendrik Bolz writes about a young man in crisis, about his arrival in Berlin at the end of the 2000s, and about his failed attempt to adapt to a puzzling value system. A vivid yet subtle glimpse into a time that has now become the present.

From Stralsund to Zehlendorf, from a prefab apartment block to a campus full of left-leaning, alternative West German middle-class kids. The news is full of bank bailouts and austerity; his inbox is filled with texts from new acquaintances who seem somewhat interested but expect something different from a friend or partner than what he has to offer. So the routine continues: two or three beers as soon as he feels something stirring inside, and if someone acts stupid, you’ve got to take them down.
