Stasiland is a 2001 non-fiction novel by Australian journalist Anna Funder. Fascinated by the German language and history, Funder moves to the former East Germany, a land which no longer exists on paper but is still definitely there, to collect the stories from the former German Democratic Republic. She meets with ex-Stasi informers, workers, spies and their victims. The novel questions the human cost of the GDR, the reasoning behind the wall and the point of communism, the twentieth century's experiment on humans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Broken Bird: Oh so many. The three main ones would be: Miriam: Arrested for putting up flyers, caught. Captured while metres away from escaping over the Berlin Wall and not allowed to sleep for ten days. Jailed for two years. When she got out she was seventeen and a half. And that's just the beginning... Julia: A bright young thing who could speak four languages and wanted to facilitate peace between the USSR and the USA was sent to a far off boarding school and prevented from getting a job — any job — simply because her boyfriend was a westerner. It gets worse for her after the Wall comes down.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Brick Joke: When Karl-Eduard Von Schnitzler is first mentioned by Julia in her story, she mentioned that when she, along with her other students, nicknamed him "Karl-Eduard Von Schni-", due to this only being heard before someone changed the channel. The chapter detailing Anna's interview with him has the latter's nickname as the chapter's title.
