Join writers Paul Scraton and Marcel Krueger at Roe River Books to discuss Paul's Berlin novel BUILT ON SAND and the literature of the city that inspired it, with readings and Q&A.

Praise for Built on Sand:

“With a psychogeographer’s sensibility and a deep connection to history, Paul Scraton’s Built on Sand offers us a tender, fresh, and moving portrait of Berlin.”
— Saskia Vogel, author of Permission

“Sublime… Scraton has taken the broken memories of a city, refashioning them into a novel that’s skewed and wondrous.”
— Irenosen Okojie, author of Speak Gigantular

‘Humane and ambitious.’
— Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun

“Cities are made of stories, and Paul Scraton’s novel-in-stories is wonderfully made of the city of Berlin.”
— Lauren Elkin, author of Flâneuse

"A haunted and haunting novel about the way the past is sometimes more real than the present."
– Owen Booth, author of What We’re Teaching Our Sons

“A stereoscopic vision of Berlin and the lives lived in its sunken streets, masterful in its attention to topographic history.”
– Jessica J. Lee, author of Turning: Lessons from Swimming Berlin's Lakes
