An exciting new collection of autobiographical essays by Jenny Erpenbeck, winner of the 2024 Booker International Prize: “She is among the most sophisticated and powerful novelists we have—it’s no surprise that she is already bruited as a future Nobelist.” —Dwight Garner,
The New York Times
The bestselling and award-winning German author Jenny Erpenbeck has gained international praise for her novels including
Visitation
,
Kairos
, and
Go, Went, Gone
.
Things that Disappear
is an exciting collection of interlinked miniature prose pieces that grapple with the phenomenon of disappearance on scales both large and small. The things that disappear in these pages range from everyday objects such as socks and cheese to close friends and the social norms of common courtesy, to sites and objects resonant with East German history, such as the Palace of the Republic or the lines of sight now blocked by new construction in Berlin. Erpenbeck asks: “Is there some kind of perpetrator who makes things that I know cherish and disappear?” These things disappear, and yet do they really? Do they remain in our memories more fully than if they continued to exist? Translated beautifully by Kurt Beals,
follows on the heels of Erpenbeck’s Man Booker-Prize winning novel
and offers a window into a renowned writer’s sense of the past, and of her own self as a writer.
