Praise for Joel Agee's Twelve Years:An American Boyhood in East Germany ...
“One of those rare personal memoirs that brings to life a whole country and an epoch.” -- Christopher Isherwood
“A triumph. . . . Unfettered by petty analysis or quick explanations, a story that is timeless and ageless and vital.” -- Baltimore Sun
“By turns poetic and picturesque, Agee energetically catalogues his expatriate passage to manhood with a pinpoint eye and a healthy American distaste for pretension. . . . Huckleberry Finn would have . . . welcomed [him] as a soulmate on the raft.” -- Time
“A wonderfully evocative memoir. . . . Agee evoked for me the atmosphere of postwar Berlin more vividly than the actual experience of it—and I was there." -- Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
One of the "Top 10 Books about the Berlin Wall." - The Guardian
