The Invention of Curried Sausage is an ingenious, revealing, and delightful novel about the invention of a popular German sidewalk food. Uwe Timm has heard claims that currywurst first appeared in Berlin in the 1950s, but he seems to recall having eaten it much earlier, as a boy in his native Hamburg, at a stand owned and operated by Lena Brcker. He decides to check it out. Although the discovery of curried sausage is eventually explained, it is its prehistory - about how Lena Brcker met, seduced and held captive a German deserter in Hamburg, in April, 1945, just before the war's end-that is the tastiest part. Timm draws gorgeous details from Lena's fine-grained recollections, and the pleasure these provide her and the reader supply the tale's real charm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52341774221600,"sku":"USED0811213684","price":12.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51846JM7goL_7f5818e9-ee1b-4a9c-b6fc-4cc54d36a6cc.jpg?v=1789162021","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-invention-of-curried-sausage-0811213684-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
