On the Other Side By Gerald Szyszkowitz, Translated by Todd C. Hanlin, Preface by Felix Mitterer, Afterword by Jurgen Koppensteiner

It is early spring, in 1990 when the border between Austria and its former Iron Curtain adversary, Czechoslovakia, has fallen. After fifty years of enmity the two countries face an uncertain future as neighbors.
The author poses the crucial question: What will happen, in our enlightened age, when East meets West? Within his fictional microcosm he offers a sobering glimpse of the effect on two “sister cities” on either side of the Austro-Czech border, as the Cold War ends and the Cool Peace begins.
