N1  - Cited by the Nobel Prize committee as the "crown" of Heinrich Boell's work, the gripping story of Group Portrait with Lady, unspools like a suspenseful documentary. Via a series of tense interview, an unnamed narrator uncovers the story- past and present- of one of Boell's most intriguing characters, the enigmatic Leni Pfeiffer, a struggling war window. At the center of her struggle is her effort to prevent the demolition of her Cologne apartment building , a fight in which she is joined by a motley group of neighbors. Along with her illegitimate son, Lev,  she becomes the nexus of a countercultural group rebelling against Germany's dehumanizing past under the Nazis ... and what looks to be an equally dehumanizing future under capitalism
