Machine-translated from the German article

The 2014 novel Kruso by Lutz Seiler is set on the island of Hiddensee, in the milieu of seasonal workers and social dropouts at the time of the collapse of the GDR in 1989. The novel tells the story of the friendship between German studies student Edgar "Ed" Bendler and kitchen worker Alexander "Kruso" Krusowitsch, who is recognized as an authority within the community of seasonal workers. Both are traumatized by the loss of a person close to them.
