Critics have seen the East German novelist Stefan Heym either as a satirist of political conditions in the Communist bloc or simply as a writer of compelling fiction. Dr Peter Hutchinson. Fellow of Selwyn College. Cambridge, argues that Heym's work operates on deeper and more general levels and he suggests that this is the reason for Heym's awkward position in present East German society.
