Contemporary German Fiction Reading Group Summer Term 2017

Dear All,

I’d like to invite you to join me for this year’s contemporary German fiction reading group. This is an optional event, open to all. You are very welcome to come along to any one or more of the sessions. All you need to do is to read the novel in advance, either in German or English translation and come prepared to discuss it.

These are the novels we will be reading and discussing this year.

Thursday 1 June Judith Schalansky, Der Hals der Giraffe / The Giraffe’s Neck (2011) GOR 106
Wednesday 14 June Olga Grjasnova, Der Russe ist einer, der Birken liebt / All Russians Love Birch Trees (2012) tbc
Thursday 28 June Lutz Seiler, Kruso (2014) GOR 106
