En 'Por tocar un tango', Christoph Hein nos sumerge en la RDA de finales de los sesenta, donde un profesor universitario, tras salir de la cárcel, se enfrenta al ostracismo y la sospecha en una sociedad totalitaria. Despojado de su empleo y rechazado incluso por su familia, el protagonista lucha por reconstruir su vida en un clima de desconfianza y mala conciencia colectiva. Esta novela explora la alienación y la búsqueda de identidad en un contexto político opresivo.
Christoph Hein is a German author and translator. He grew up in the town Bad Düben near Leipzig. Being a clergyman's son and thus not allowed to attend the Erweiterte Oberschule (EOS) in the GDR, he received secondary education at a gymnasium in the western part of Berlin. After his Abitur he jobbed inter alia as assembler, bookseller and assistant director. From 1967 to 1971 Hein studied philosophy in Leipzig and Berlin. Upon graduation, he became a dramatic adviser at the Volksbühne in Berlin, where he worked as a resident writer from 1974. Since 1979 Hein has worked as a freelance writer.
