Madonna in a Fur Coat

should i blame the translation? it felt a little bit flat for me. buttttt while i did not like the novel, the 1920's berlin setting is one of the few things i enjoyed here (am a huge admirer of Fosse's CABARET—as a matter of fact i noticed lots of similarities here. maybe i should read Goodbye to Berlin soon!). i'm interested in reading more fiction set in this period!
