One of the most beautiful autobiographical writings of the 20th century and at the same time a key text of modernity. "In those times, the telephone hung distorted and cast out between the laundry chest and the gasometer in a corner of the back corridor, from where its ringing multiplied the horrors of the Berlin apartment." This edition of Berliner Kindheit um neunzehnhundert is part of the Suhrkamp Letterpress edition, created in collaboration with typographer Erik Spiekermann and Süpergrüp, a group of seven outstanding German designers - alongside Erik Spiekermann, Mirko Borsche, Johannes Erler, Lars Harmsen, Sarah Illenberger, Eike König, and Mario Lombardo - featuring seven exceptional works of the 20th century, all published by Suhrkamp Verlag, newly designed, typeset, and printed using digitally exposed plates in letterpress on an original.
