{"product_id":"silent-close-no-6","title":"Silent Close No. 6","description":"Monika Maron was born in wartime Berlin in 1941 to an anti-fascist mother of Polish Jewish ancestry and a German father. Her step-father was the first Minister of the Interior of the new East German state, having been chief of police.\nFollowing her early upbringing in a Communist family, Maron joined the Party in 1965, thinking to oppose \"anti-democratic\" tendencies from within the Party. She soon understood, however, that \"you cannot close up a people in a wall.\" She left the Party and worked in television, as a drama school teacher, and for six years as a journalist.\nSilent Close No. 6 concerns one of the high Communist rulers, whose self-explanations are never allowed to justify his past actions. The novel is an important critique of Germany's recent past by one of the country's leading intellectuals.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0930523938\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0930523938.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maron, Monika|Marinelli, David Newton\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43339935875133,"sku":"BVV.0930523938.VG","price":27.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/silent-close-no-6","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
