A delicate, secretive boy with too much imagination and too few opportunities, he becomes the target of outrage and fear when strange phenomena convulse the town: snowfall in summer, inexplicable corn circles, a boy dead under the wheels of a train, swastikas crudely daubed on walls. Fingers point, and they single out Kuper. The more he tries to prove his innocence, the more fierce the accusations, until his only option is open war against the village and its inhabitants. 546 $a Translated from the German. 650 0 $a Small cities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Young men $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008114024 650 0 $a Strangers $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010114799 651 0 $a Ostfriesland (Germany) $v Fiction. 650 7 $0 (DE-101)043042635 $0 (uri)http://d-nb.info/gnd/4304263-6 $0 (DE-101)043042635 $a Provinzstadt. $2 gnd 650 7 $0 (DE-101)042908027 $0 (uri)http://d-nb.info/gnd/4290802-4 $0 (DE-101)042908027 $a MaÌnnliche Jugend. $2 gnd 650 7 $0 (DE-101)041345576 $0 (uri)http://d-nb.info/gnd/4134557-5 $0 (DE-101)041345576 $a AuÃenseiter. $2 gnd 651 7 $0 (DE-101)040440672 $0 (uri)http://d-nb.info/gnd/4044067-9 $0 (DE-101)040440672 $a Ostfriesland. $2 gnd 648 7 $a Geschichte 1980-1989 $2 gnd 655 7 $0 (DE-101)1071854844 $0 (uri)http://d-nb.info/gnd/1071854844 $0 (DE-101)1071854844 $a Fiktionale Darstellung. $2 gnd-content 655 7 $0 (DE-101)1010789759 $a ErzaÌhlende Literatur. $2 gatbeg 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 700 1 $a Derbyshire, Katy, $e translator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2010032710 830 0 $a German list. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010000798 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021021650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=134E2DD0065611E8AD8CF06897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
