I am the author of "WEEDS LIKE US" a book about my strange childhood in Russian-occupied Germany after World War II. I was born in Königsberg, East Prussia, in December 1937. By the time I was thirteen years old, I had lived in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and in both the Soviet-Occupied Zone and the British Occupied Zone in Germany. I... more »

    I must check out your book. Enjoy Chicago! Since you and your wife recently relocated, would you happen to have any recommendations on books (or websites or whatever) that might help my husband and me decide where to move to when we finally settle back home in the USA? It's fine if you don't have any ideas, but thanks so much if you do!

    Gunter, I LOVED Weeds like Us. What in interesting book. Are you planning a sequel? If not, you have to tell me how you got to the States and what happened to your parents and brother. Just the kind of book I love to read. I won't forget it. Judy

    Sir:

    I am still researching relatives. I do know that my family came to the US from Scotland and settled in South Carolina. I plan to do some first hand research after I move to Belgium in a couple weeks. I can't wait to go to Scotland!

    The reason for my asking if you knew the Lotspeichs is that you and Curt's parents have a very similar history. They are wonderful to sit and talk with. They had a group of friends with like history's that would come from all throughout Chicago to meet at the restaurant for lunch. With your permission, I will share your shelf with Curt. Perhaps they have read your book.
    Respectfully, David S. Templeton

    Sir:

    I am a native of Chicago as well and am wondering if you happen to know Curt Lotspeich and family. They owned a restaurant in Lansing IL. named the "White Rose Inn"

    By the way, if you liked my HuffPo blog you might like my novel Conscience Point. It has several party scenes and the blog you read is like an outtake from the novel. But apart from that, the novel is mystical and strange as well.

    I have trouble navigating this site, but then I'm a tech dummy. The Israel Lobby sounds pretty right on, challenging, too. But many issues are complicated and elude the sound bite. Right now I'm only reading books connected to my new novel, which is focusing for the moment on the Beat generation.

    Thanks for your response. HuffPo has become really important, seemingly out of nowhere, and I'm delighted to blog for them. I'm covering the Toronto Film Festival for HuffPo.

    Your book sounds fascinating. Congratulations! I too was born in 1937 -- how different our lives have been! If you like fiction, you might check out my latest novel Conscience Point, just out in soft cover from Unbridled Books. It's pitched as "Sex in the City meets Brideshead Revisited." What did you think of "The Israel Lobby?" I also write for the Huffington Post.
