The novel portrays the last punk generation and its legacy after twenty years. Ole doesn’t expect much from his life anymore. He is fourty years old. He smokes, drinks and spends his evenings at a small dingy bar called Helsinky in a large East German city. The battered drinking den is the last haven for his old friends, lovers and deranged regulars. He is haunted by his smoke-coloured memories and the eyes of a young woman who chronicles her private revolution in her authentic diary according to the rhythm of punk music. Cracked relationships, an incessant desire and efflux, a world that changes so rapidly that we have long stopped to understand it – that is The End of Punk in Helsinki.
