What is it like to come from somewhere else and live among the Germans?
How do the Germans behave, how do they think, and what makes them... well, let's just say, "the way they are"?
Rucklingsdorf - An American Surrounded by Germans is a collection of short stories (and a few essays) that give you an insight into German day-to-day life, from someone who is simultaneously on the inside and on the outside.
If you were to crack open a German like an egg and pour the contents into a pan, the result you would see would be this book.
Buy it, read it, and love it!
(Also available in German, as an eBook or paperback, under the following title: Rucklingsdorf - Ein Amerikaner von Deutschen umzingelt).
