What is What's to become of the boy?, or, Something to do with books about?
In 1981, Heinrich Boll returned to the streets of his childhood in this remarkable collection of nonfiction. This volume captures the musings of a mature Boll as he looks back with fondness and with anger on his formative years: as a student who avoided school but lived for his education on the street; and as a young man forced to grapple with the moral horror that was Hitler. "What's to Become of the Boy"—superbly translated by Leila Vennewitz—provides uncommon insight into Boll's maturation as an author and as a man.
