I completely forgot one more pre-eminent angst text! Search out a book
(pretty obscure, it may be difficult to find) called `14 Stories' by a
guy
named Heinrich Boll. This is one of the finest collections of short
stories
you are ever likely to read. `In The Valley of the Thundering Hooves' is
teen angst par excellence; `Murke's Collected Silences' is just par
excellence. Boll, you might be interested to know, is sometimes called
the
German Salinger (which is what alerted him to me in the first place) as
his
books and styles share many of Salinger's themes, and it was he who
prepared TCIR's German translation. You must search `14 Stories' out, it
is
one of those reading experiences that make you eternally glad you
learned
to read.
