The novel tells the tale of Richard, a retired classics professor who lives in Berlin. His wife has died, and he lives a routine existence until one day he spies some African refugees staging a hunger strike in Alexanderplatz. Curiosity turns to compassion and an inner transformation, as he visits their shelter, interviews them, and becomes embroiled in their harrowing fates. \u003cem\u003eGo, Went, Gone\u003c\/em\u003e is a scathing indictment of Western policy toward the European refugee crisis, but also a touching portrait of a man who finds he has more in common with the Africans than he realizes. Exquisitely translated by Susan Bernofsky, \u003cem\u003eGo, Went, Gone\u003c\/em\u003e addresses one of the most pivotal issues of our time, facing it head-on in a voice that is both nostalgic and frightening.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Go, Went, Gone | Jenny Erpenbeck | Paperback | 9780811225946 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1708848 (temp: 10)","offer_id":48313018024088,"sku":"1708848","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51-A0vRv9LL_5069e627-0eb4-4313-b29f-526d2767551f.jpg?v=1773159665","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/go-went-gone-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
