Words and stories and memory are the vehicle by which the reader moves, intoxicatingly and fearlessly, through a dizzying but magnificent series of terrains. Wonderful, elegant and exhilarating, ferocious as well as virtuosic: One of the finest, most exciting authors alive. Dreamlike, almost incantatory prose. Beautiful and ambitious. Erpenbecks graceful prose suits the understated tone of this Hans Fallada Prize winner. The brutality of her subjects, combined with the fierce intelligence and tenderness at work behind her restrained, unvarnished prose, is overwhelming.
