Wiedersehen mit Doosie

More about the book

It is a true reunion with Doosie—twenty-five love stories that joyfully and seriously revolve around the tale of one great love—the connection between author and reader, teacher and pupil, letter writer and recipient. As strange as it may sound, this is a very tender and intimate love story with the one "you"—with you, the reader.
