What Remains collects Christa Wolf's short fiction, from early work in the sixties to the widely debated title story, first published in Germany in 1990. Addressing a wide range of topics, from sexual politics to the nature of memory, these powerful and often very personal stories offer a fascinating introduction to Wolf's work. What Remains and Other Stories . . . is clear and farsighted. The eight heartfelt stories in the book show why she has been respected as a serious author since her 1968 novel, The Quest for Christa T. . . . Wolf uses her own experiences and observations to create universal themes about the controls upon human freedom.--Herbert Mitgang, New York Times Christa Wolf has set herself nothing less than the task of exploring what it is to be a conscious human being alive in a moment of history.--Mary Gordon, New York Times Book Review The simultaneous publication of these two volumes offers readers here a generous sampling of the short fiction, speeches and essays that Wolf has produced over the last three decades.--Mark Harman, Boston Globe

VG+ Wrappers. Gray rear cover, colorful, pictorial spine and front cover are all clean and glossy. Book has a nearly unnoticable trace of rubbing at the head and tail of the spine and at the very tips of the four outside corners. Book would be a very easy NF grade, but there are two tiny tan spots on the lower edge of the textblock-pages are otherwise all clean, white, and crisp. Binding is straight and tight. Lovely copy of a somewhat uncommon book.
