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 Brucker. He decides to check it out. Although the discovery of curried sausage is eventually explained, it is its prehistory - about how Lena Brucker met, seduced and held captive a German deserter in Hamburg, in April, 1945, just before the wars end-that is the tastiest part. Timm draws gorgeous details from Lenas fine-grained recollections, and the pleasure these provide her and the reader supply the tales real charm.
