This one appears to be a Turkish product not a reprint - a short lived science fiction series from the mid-1970s.

No specific statement, just their general, especially post the Berlin election.

On a whim l just watched THREE COLOURS: WHITE (1994), the first of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s trilogy that l’ve seen. Absolutely adored this film, by turns whimsical and tough. A near perfect distillation of the promise and chaos of the post-communist new Europe of the early 1990s.

If you dig juvenile delinquency films check out Swedish label Klubb Super 8’s release, FARLIG FRIHET (THE VICIOUS BREED), Arne Ragneborn’s very noirish 1954 youth gone wild film. It incls my video essay on the backlash against 1950s youth culture in the east & west klubbsuper8.com/se/article.p...

The 36th anniversary of German reunification & I’m fascinating by how conflicted Germany still is about it. It was a West takeover & in many areas the east was far more advanced, but the left remains in denial about how repressive & backward other aspects were www.anclogan.ie/contested-me...

I believe it was originally published in German, so, yes, a pseudonym for a German writer?
