'Order Prevails in Berlin' is a short essay taken from the final section of Vincenzo Latronico's book 'La Chiave di Berlino' (The Berlin Key). The essay has been translated by Sophie Hughes.
Latronico is most famously known for the Booker-Prize shortlisted novel 'Perfection' which follows the lives of a two millennium 'digital nomads' living in Berlin - a striking satire about the emptiness of contemporary existence.
Previously available only in Italian this fantastic 11,000 word essay gives the autobiographical context in which Vincenzo came to write his acclaimed novel, as he contemplates the changing landscape of Berlin between 2009 and 2023.
