How you write is how you think!!!

Thomas Brussig chose to the write the novel Heroes like us as an interview. Usually the way authors present their ideas are reflected directly through the way the book is written. Heroes like us is set up as an interview, each chapter is a tape that has been recorded by the voice of Klaus, the main character, and the interviewer, Mr. Kieltstein, is never heard. The reason why the author chose to write the book in this manner is becauce he wanted to make sure everyone knows Klaus is actually exposing something about the Stasi, and that he could be endangered by such exposure. Also, the fact that only Klaus' voice is heard throughout the interview is mostly because he wants to emphasize the fact that the whole story is biased and it is all seen through Klaus point of view, and the interviewer does not have a say in any of the story. So, Klaus could be lying or exhagerating, which is a point the author wants to get across in the story without telling the audience directly.
