Growing up in former East Germany when the Cold War and State-sponsored paranoia were on the rise, life was ¿ when you¿re young ¿ interesting and also fun. However, like many of my friends I sought a better life beyond the borders of the so-called German Democratic Republic. As a well-known Czech writer, who also left his country, once remarked that any authoritarian regime has a comical side to it, which here the reader may find in A missing Page, Between the Sectors, and in Cinema Tickets, which are true stories to the spoken word. In others a literary licence was employed. Wolf Arnold grew up in East and West Germany and came to Canada in the early 1960s. While employed in a non-teaching capacity at the University of Toronto, he wrote and produced videos on art, history and environmental issues. His numerous articles on travel and other subjects have appeared in newspapers and magazines in Canada, the United States, Germany and Australia.
