Writer and award-winning German-language translator Tim Mohr has announced the release of his first book, Burning Down the House: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, out September 11, 2018 via Algonguin Books.  Telling the little-known story of a group of East German kids who rebelled and helped set the world on fire, Mohr takes readers on a fascinating trip through the 1980s.
