It's 1972 and 24-year-old Adrian Berger's life is about to change. An only child with well-to-do parents, Adrian has everything, everything except friends, and his sheltered childhood has crippled him emotionally and sexually and has made him a selfish, arrogant loner. And he has no regrets about it until he is faced with a tragedy that sends him on a journey to unlock a family secret and reveal the lies of his life. Along the way, Adrian discovers love, explores loss, finds a hidden identity, and faces difficulties he?s not prepared to meet. He experiences the joys of Zen, naked women, and BBK beer. He finds God the hard way. He learns about love and sex the hard way. He learns to make friends the hard way. He learns life the hard way, finding reality a difficult concept to grasp at times. This journey takes Adrian to Kaiserslautern, Germany, where he must find the two people who can help him put the pieces of his puzzled life together and unravel the lies he has lived. And all he has are names: Joseph and Katherina Iwanovitz.

5,0 su 5 stelle Found myself Lost...in this book
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 aprile 2014

As soon as I began reading "Desperation Row" this story had me captivated. I enjoyed the set up of short yet flowing chapters as each one left me wanting more. Adrian"s journeys were heartfelt and culturally adventurous as he searched for his mysterious past while simultaneously finding his future. I savored this character watching him grow from his unexpected losses gaining wisdom, gratitude, and new love. A story so alluring made it hard to put down. Gail is a marvelous storyteller.
I found The Reality of Being Lovers such a kaleidoscope of characters and persona's. Reality enter-twining with sweet reverie.
First rate read!

4,0 su 5 stelle Life, Love, Lust and Loss
Recensito in Germania il 18 settembre 2013
Acquisto verificato
In this first-person narrative Adrian Berger, a 24 year old American, tells about the big L's: Life, Love, Lust and Loss.

His journey begins in America, where he attended college, and leads him in the second part of the book to Germany, specifically to Kaiserslautern (aka K-Town). The chapters are interrupted by sections called "interlude", which represent some kind of diary, and lead out of the context of linear story.

The whole book I think is worth reading. Although written in a rather simple language, it's good literature, especially for a debut novel.

Two things I would like to highlight:
German terms from the Alltagswelt are incorporated into the text here and there, whenever the narrator feels it fits. As a German native speaker I hardly notice and it doesn't interfere with my flow of reading. I would imagine though that people without knowledge of German may feel differently.
Second, some sex scenes are described quite explicitly, but in no way pornographic whatsoever.

I really enjoyed this book, and I hope you will too.

4,0 su 5 stelle Beautiful "Coming of Age" novel.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 21 luglio 2015
Acquisto verificato
Beautiful "Coming of Age" novel. Deceptively simple writing style, by an author owing a certain debt to Hemingway. I really enjoyed it. The author draws you into the main character, Adrian Berger, who has to deal with some terrible losses at a young age; all related with compassion and sensitivity. It also evokes a past age of recent history: post Vietnam War America, and West Germany, with US presence still very evident. I warmed to Adrian, and another surprise in the narrative is the appearance of the author himself as a guide and mentor to the young writer. The themes of death and loss are central to this novel. The author weaves the losses in Vietnam, with early deaths of Rock stars of the period, such as Hendrix & Joplin, with the loss of those close the main character. A moving and engaging book.

4,0 su 5 stelle Finding What's Lost -- a literary gem
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 agosto 2013
Acquisto verificato
Gail Winfree is a true literary talent. I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting nominated for a high literary award at some time. His books are definitely not "run of the mill". I already noticed this when I read "Things I Remember", where Gail Winfree proves himself as a deep thinker, one could even say a philosopher; mind you a daring philosopher who recklessly defies conventions. Now, "Finding What's Lost" is a novel, not a poetry book that reminisces in philosophical thoughts, but here, too, Gail Winfree keeps surprising the reader with unusual thoughts, and there are many passages that give evidence of -- sometimes startling -- philosophical insights.

Why did I not give this book 5 stars? There were exactly three reasons: (1) I found the preface unnecessary and a spoiler. No need to feed the reader with a synopsis of the book. Besides, I consider the author too critical of his protagonist, whom I neither found arrogant nor selfish, only somewhat immature as quite natural for his age. (2) I could have done without the very last chapter, for the second-last chapter would, in my opinion, have made a perfect ending. (3) I don't care for it when fiction is written in the first person, but that's just my personal dislike.

All in all, I strongly recommend this book. I recommend it especially to readers who are appreciative of literary value.

One caveat: The book contains rather graphic descriptions of erotic scenes (so it may not be the right read for people who are a bit prudish); yet this happens mainly because the protagonist, who the author assured me is not autobiographic, has the bad luck to keep running into beautiful, naked women.
