Produktbeschreibung

A probing masterpiece-in-miniature of self-reflection and cultural reckoning.

From the great German-language writer of his generation (Joshua Cohen) comes the second novel of Kracht's career narrated by an eponymous Christian (the first was his best-selling 1995 debut, Faserland). Eurotrash begins in Zurich, where Christian has arrived to care for his eighty-year-old mother after her discharge from a mental institution. Reckoning with his family's dark historyhis long-dead grandfather was intimately associated with and unapologetically supportive of the Nazisand struggling to navigate the emotionally wrenching terrain of his relationship with his mother, Christian sets off on a road-trip with her. As they traverse Switzerland in a hired cab, mother and son attempt to give away her vast fortune, which they're carrying in a large plastic bag, to random strangers. By turns disturbing, disorienting, hilarious, and poignant, Eurotrash tells an intensely personal and unsparingly critical story of contemporary culture; a story that shows us a writer at the pinnacle of his powers of insight and observation.
