Simple StoriesPrize winning German writer Ingo Schulze's first novel, Simple Stories, is a marvel of storytelling and craft.

Prize-winning German writer Ingo Schulze's first novel, Simple Stories, is a marvel of storytelling and craft. Set in the East German town of Altenburg after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it deftly leaps among an array of confused characters caught in the crossroads of their country's history: a lovelorn waitress who falls for a visiting West German investor; an art historian turned traveling salesman; a former Communist official plagued by his past; an unsuccessful writer who asks his neighbor to break his leg so that he can continue to live on welfare.Schulze skillfully intercuts an assortment of moving and comic vignettes about seemingly unconnected people, gradually linking them into an exhilarating whole of tidal unity and emotional force, until we see that all the time we have been reading a novel in glittering fragments, spun by a master. With a piercing eye for detail and a magical ear for dialogue, Schulze portrays the tragi-comedy of ordinary people caught up in the last great historical upheaval of the century.

Recommend this it’s awesome !!!
It’s awesome and it works great. The old one I had from Walmart kept getting clogged. It wouldn’t work right this one has yet to get clogged. It holds two of my sponges that I was hoping it would hold a lot easier to maintain and clean, and the pocket was able to hold both of my scrub daddies.

Just what I was looking for
I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m glad I chose this one. The pump action is great to keep filled for easy use. I have 2 sponges on it and on the right side I keep a bottle brush as well as a squeeze bottle of dawn. It is a really good size! Good value and very functional for my needs.

Good enough
This item does the job but if you place wet items into the pocket, it will leak that water out the bottom, leaving your counter top wet. Otherwise, it works fine.
