★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Francis Nenik

Translated by: Katy Derbyshire

...particularly peculiar, breath-taking and worth telling. Alexander Solloch, NDR Kultur. Francis Nenik's thrilling slice of narrative non-fiction is about the life of the forgotten writer Hasso Grabner, told with great joy in language and love of absurdity. The journey takes us from the Young Communists in 1920s Leipzig to wartime Crete, with Grabner falling from steelworks director to a vilified author banned from publishing his work in the GDR.
