The distinguished German writer Uwe Johnson (1934-1984) lived for several years in the 1960s on Manhattan’s Upper Westside. His publisher, Harcourt Brace, had hired him as a textbook editor for their German-language school book editions, which allowed him to stay in New York and also tend to his own writing. In his spare time he got to know his neighborhood very well, observing the goings on in the streets, cafeterias, and parks. In 1968 German Television agreed to coproduce a film with us in which Uwe Johnson would, on-camera, introduce and question the various characters with whom he exchanges news and opinions on his wanderings on the Upper West Side. We proposed to him that he participate in the documentary. Being essentially introverted he was not interested in the on-camera concept, but was willing to make a list of places and situations that he felt should be included in the film.

Common Things to Look
Out For:
While Reddit can be a great source of information about shows and movies, it's important to be careful which subreddits you view. Some subreddits pertaining to streaming, particularly free streaming, can be dangerous as they may contain links to illegal streaming sites and services. These sites should be avoided as they are often not authorized to distribute the content and may also infect your device with malware or viruses. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is, so stick to Reddits that discuss legitimate, legal sources only.
