"The Lemon Tree" - by M.Bavaria (Fischer Verlag)

M.Bavaria's new 634 page novel tells the touching story of a fragile teenage boy - Braten - from Franconia who's life changes forever when he discovers Rock'n'Roll.
Developed around the recuring theme of a lemon tree, Bavaria's approach is best described as monetary policy gone bankrupt.
Join "Braten" on his colourful journey, which commences in the depths of a depressing semi-industrialized Lebkuchen factory on the rural outskirts of Nuremberg, but will take you to new, mysterious and fantastic locations.
Sometimes sad, frequently funny but always stimulating Bavaria has managed to capture the spirit of a subversive cultural movement without tarnishing its core and thereby jeopardizing its subcultural existence - a must read for young and old!
