Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany. They are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a best-selling autobiography.

A rare find and quite possibly one of my top picks for the year.
This novel is deeply symbolic and portrays complex processes through an innocent soul's language. What I admire the most is the disintegration of the elements of traditional English literature. This is largely the most common critique of this novel (for some reason). True, it is not a tactfully placed story arch and dramatized climax embellished with sprinklings of foreshadow and metaphors. But I think you should appreciate that aspect most of all as the overarching theme is the celebration of Eastern culture in its attempts to interact with Western views. Rejection of this novel for its dissociation of "normal" is only natural to traditional western readers.
