The new issue of New Books in German is online now, opening with a rather fine review of Axolotl Roadkill, if I do say so myself.
The magazine highlights new writing from Germany, Austria and Switzerland - that would make the world a better place if it were translated. And this is a humdinger, featuring an exclusive Herta Müller translation by Donal McLaughlin accompanied by an essay by Lyn Marven; pieces by former German-language writers-in-residence in London; poetry by Günter Eich (trans. Michael Hofmann); and an interview with the Swiss writer Zoe Jenny.
The lovely new editor Charlotte Ryland has done herself proud. Go there and read it all right now.

Am I really the only one to hate that book. And to hate it on purely aestetic terms: I think it's awfully awfully written. I can be quite bitchy about the style of some books written in German, but among lauded German writers of prose, Hegemann surely takes the cake. Nothing in there, for me, seems to work as straight prose: it almost seems as if one can only read it at a distance, as a web of quotes and ironic, distanced, refracted statements. Wouldn't anything else make any reader recoil in horror? Am I too much of a curmudgeon?
No, not at all. Loads of people hate it - I'm just in the other camp.
