Did she come in contact with a contaminated truck from the Ukraine? Was he a cog at the heart of the system, failing to prevent a tragic accident? Can he find out what happened before its too late? He soon begins to lose control over his days in Berlin, entering into a desperate search for orientation over a fracture in his own lifeone he has never gotten over.
Written in Pareis characteristically precise prose, The Cold Centre is a timely reminder of how we react to accidentsnuclear and otherwise and a bleakly realistic description of East Berlin before the Wall fell. Its tight and dizzying structure keeps readers on the edge of their seats as the narrator tries to solve his mystery.
