The Air Bridge Between Berlin and Me - Paperback
by Lance Carden (Author), Marie Laure (Foreword by)
This is not a novel or novella, not a history or a travel book, not a memoir, nor just a few short stories that hang together with a few stanzas of poetry. It is all that mixed together like scrambled eggs. There are three intertwined stories: One is about the author in Germany as a student from 1961 to 1962. Then, from 1965 to 1968, he is an Air Force officer in Berlin at Tempelhof Airport. The third story is about his return to Berlin in 2023, as a former journalist, a poet, and an octogenarian. Why was he returning? Because Americans are beginning to see what Germans saw nearly a century ago.
Lance Carden has published four books of poetry as well as Witness: An Oral History of Black Politics in Boston, 1920-1960. This oral history was published by Boston College in 1989 then reprinted by Wipf and Stock in 2022. For about two decades, Carden was a writer and editor at The Christian Science Monitor. He has a Fine Arts degree in creative writing from the University of Oregon.
