Wir waren wie Brüder, [We Were Like Brothers]
Daniel Schulz in conversation with Anna Longo
Confindustria Alto Adriatico, Via Borgo Sant'Antonio, 17, Pordenone
Daniel Schulz reveals the banality of right-wing violence after the Fall of the Berlin Wall through this story of a youth in provincial Brandenburg. He is ten years old when revolution erupts in the GDR. While many people around him long for freedom, he is afraid: of the imperialists and fascists his teachers warned him about. Of what is coming and of what he doesn’t know. A few years later, he is harassed by Neonazis because of his long hair. And yet he often hangs out with rightwing extremists because he feels safe with them. As safe as he feels when he’s with Mariam, whose family comes from Georgia and is afraid of nothing. But at some point he’ll have to decide whose side he is on. We Were Like Brothers is a graphic evocation of the period directly following the Fall of the Berlin Wall - and an all-too relevant novel about the often banal origins of racism and rightwing violence.
(Text: Hanser Berlin)
Daniel Schulz was born in 1979 in Potsdam, and grew up in a village in Brandenburg. He studied political science and journalism in Leipzig. After some early jobs in journalism for Zitty, the Märkische Allgemeine and Freies Wort, he started working for the taz newspaper, where he is now features editor.
