IN BERLIN is an entangled story about two women whose lives are upended, one by an achingly rare spinal stroke and the other by political violence. In this interview conducted by Susie Felber, Eric Silberstein explains what inspired him to write his second novel, following THE INSECURE MIND OF SERGEI KRAEV, and why he chose Berlin as the setting. He also talks about making some of the mouth-watering Syrian dishes that are described in the novel and recalls a memorable discussion he had with a book club.
