Perfection - Vincenzo Latronico

The 'It' book of the moment in Berlin - couldn't put it down, it hits on so. many. levels. The story: A young Italian couple moves to Berlin in the 90's heyday, searchng for the elusive Berlin Cool, they find it, the replicate it, the live it, then what? Reminds us of Georges Perec's similarly gorgeous novel Things, which defined a generation in the 60's who were obsessed with material objects. *This book is great if you love Berlin, or maybe if you are in a reading slump. So thin, so good. It also won the Booker! Like new copy, from Berlin.
