Can't wait to talk with @wortsman on Monday Deutsches Haus about Rahel Varnhagen's letters. It's clear why Hannah Arendt considered RV her 'closest friend, though she ha[d] been dead for some hundred years'. as.nyu.edu/research-cente…

.Karen Leeder on Lutz Seiler's Star 111 in The TLS:

'The author’s shimmering, ironic and musical prose – impeccably translated by Tess Lewis (@tesslewis94) – captures a moment both archaic and profoundly real.'

Set in Berlin, 1989, coming to the U. S. in September.

‘Served by a trio of stellar translators ... They will allow a new audience to enter Lutz Seiler's haunted world and admire his singular voice in its different refractions.’
