Read full description of the books:
Memoirs of a Polar Bear stars three generations of talented writers and performers―who happen to be polar bears.
Three generations (grandmother, mother, son) of polar bears are famous as both circus performers and writers in East Germany: they are polar bears who move in human society, stars of the ring and of the literary world. In chapter one, the grandmother matriarch in the Soviet Union accidentally writes a bestselling autobiography. In chapter two, Tosca, her daughter (born in Canada, where her mother had emigrated) moves to the DDR and takes a job in the circus. Her son―the last of their line―is Knut, born in chapter three in a Leipzig zoo but raised by a human keeper in relatively happy circumstances in the Berlin zoo, until his keeper, Matthias, is taken away...
Happy or sad, each bear writes a story, enjoying both celebrity and “the intimacy of being alone with my pen.”

Reviews of the Memoirs of a Polar Bear

MOHAMMED
Phone number you need to drive to protect against robots.

PHOEBE
Why do you ask me to write a phone?

LUCA
Best in Books

TILLY
This is a very predictable author. When you get a book for free, you can read it. The intrigue is present, the unbundling is clear.
