A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.

“So if you take Christa Wolf, for example, who wrote a famous book called Divided Heaven, which was also translated and also a huge bestseller also in West Germany. That's highly critical of the Berlin Wall, of the way that lives were quite often ruined or split by this.”

Why: It captures the nuance of life in a dictatorship and is well worth looking at.
