Read from June 04 to 15, 2010
Translated by Michael Hofmann, with an afterword by Geoff Wilkes. I'm reading through fingers as the oppression fair leaps off the page.
Opening: SOME BAD NEWS - The postwoman Eva Kluge slowly climbs the steps of 55 Jablonski Strasse.
This is my book nomination in support of The Hydra Movement started by Manny.
ETA: That link to Manny's review doesn't work because he had the review removed by the grrrramazon monster.
