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 Br cker. He decides to check it out. Although the discovery of curried sausage is eventually explained, it is its prehistory - about how Lena Br cker 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.

Right size item
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Make sure you order the right size. I received Small size & not Large. My fault. But, it still fit ok, a little snug, yet it made me feel warm when I went outside. I will be ordering a large size in the near future. Some one else in the family will get the small size item.

Worthy value.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
Good underwear has a price. This is definitely worth the investment. Not a heavy warm, but definitely a good cold day layer. Wore them in the house as sleeper. They fit like spandex with a fly.
