Still thinking about last week's literary encounter with Swiss German writer Milena Michiko Flašar. By addressing Japan's phenomenon of ‘Kodokushi’, her endearing narrative upends our understanding of death as something finite and feared 🫶 #SwissGerman #Newbooksingerman #Literarytranslation
Editorial meeting today with the #newbooksingerman team; debating the latest German-language fiction and non-fiction picks with these guys is absolutely one of my favourite roles 📚🙌

Twice a year, I get to review submissions to #newbooksingerman along with three fellow assessors, and it's absolutely one of my favourite things. In summer '22, #Blutbuch was among them, and its brilliance hit me like a rocket. What will this year bring?
