Accident: A Day's News is a strange and fascinating little novel. Accident takes place on a single day shortly after the Chernobyl atomic plant disaster. An East German writer (much like Christa Wolf) goes about her day. Our narrator (never named, though intimated to be Christa Wolf herself) waits for a call to tell her how her brother's brain surgery went, while ruminating on the recent nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. As she goes about her daily business, gardening, shopping, answering her mail, she contemplates humanity, and human responsibility. Imagining the details of her brother's surgery she juxtaposes it with the spreading nuclear crisis.

Christa Wolf's Accident, A Day's News is a unique view into the mind of the narrator and main character (the German Writer) as she experiences a single day of personal and community crisis. On a personal level, the writer is struggling through the brain surgery of her brother, who lives far away and with whom she "speaks" to throughout the narrative. Intertwined in that personal crisis is a worldwide concern regarding the after-effects of the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident. There is great struggle for the writer as she attempts to navigate this new world, with its warnings about milk and vegetables, and the fear of the great storm cloud that threatens to rain down deadly radiation on all.
