About This Novel

"The Good-for-Nothing Dog" contains 11 short stories by Burr and is a treasure of short stories selected from Burr's posthumous works. From the rise of the Nazis to power, World War II, post-war famine to economic reconstruction, the social reality of Germany in every period has left a deep imprint on this work. Reading these works, you can not only feel the beating pulse of the times, but also get a glimpse of the author's broad and compassionate feelings. It has been many years since the war ended. The smoke of that distant era rises to the surface again along with these short stories. What rises with this smoke is the lofty expectations and ideals of a young man before the war. He was full of hope but was resisting in vain against the world at that time; what rises with this smoke are memories and explanations, fears and fantasies, all of which constitute the vitality that is still spreading in these works. From a literary perspective, nothing is finished.
