Se alle

The strength of this collection is in how it upends many of our perceptions of life in the GDR and what the fall of the Berlin Wall means to those who experienced it

New European

A wonderfully gripping story that ventures fearlessly into some pretty dark family secrets to tell the story of a Europe you won't find in conventional history books

New European

Not a Novel is the best of Jenny Erpenbeck's non-fiction. Moving and insightful, the pieces range from personal essays and literary criticism to reflections on Germany's history, interrogating life and politics, language and freedom, hope and despair. By turns both luminous and explosive, this collection shows one of the most acclaimed European writers reckoning with her country's divided past, and responding to the world today with intelligence and humanity.
