Schulze’s debut work, it consists of a collection of interwoven short stories set in St. Petersburg (referred to as Piter in Russian slang). The book presents a fragmented portrait of post-Soviet Russia through the eyes of German expatriates and travelers. Blending absurdity, humor, and dark realism, it explores themes of cultural encounters, the lingering traces of Soviet life, and the unpredictability of everyday existence in 1990s Russia. Schulze’s storytelling is deeply influenced by Russian literary traditions, particularly the works of Gogol and Bulgakov. Praised for its inventive style and sharp observations, 33 Augenblicke des Glücks established Schulze as a significant voice in contemporary German literature.
