Grass Gunter The Flounder
Gunter Grass, says The Times, 'is on his own as an artist', and indeed this extraordinary, provoking and joyously Rabelaisian celebration of life, food and sex is unique. Lifted from their ancient fairytale, the fisherman and his wife are still living today. During the months of Ilsebill's pregnancy, the fisherman tells her of his adventures through time with the Flounder, constituting a complete reworking of social, political and gastronomic history.

Grass Gunter Cat and Mouse
A powerful story set in war-torn Danzig about a teenager's rise from clown to hero by Nobel Prize-winner Gunter Grass. To compensate for his unusually large Adam's apple - source of both discomfort and distress - fourteen year old Joachim Mahlke turns himself into athlete and ace diver. Soon he is known to his peers and his nation as 'The Great Mahlke'. But to his enemies, he remains a target. He is different and doomed in a country scarred by the war. Cat and Mouse was first published in 1961, two years after Gunter Grass' controversial and applauded masterpiece, The Tin Drum. Once again Grass turns his attention on Danzig. With a subtle blend of humour and power, Cat and Mouse ostensibly relates the rise of Mahlke from clown to hero. But Mahlke's outlandish antics hide the darkness at the heart of a nation torn by Nazi violence, the war and its aftermath.

Grass Gunter The Tin Drum
The Tin Drum presents Hitler's rise and fall through the eyes of the dwarfish narrator whose magic powers become symbolic of the dark forces dominating the German nation in the period. Like Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus, Grass's novel explores the dark roots of power and creativity. An early advocate of 'magic realism'. Gunter Grass is the most powerful and celebrated novelist to appear in post-war Germany. His home city of Danzig is a powerful presence in this novel.

Vonnegut Kurt Letters
This collection of Vonnegut's letters is the autobiography he never wrote - from the letter he posted home upon being freed from a German POW camp, to notes of advice to his children: 'Don't let anybody tell you that smoking and boozing are bad for you. Here I am fifty-five years old, and I never felt better in my life'. Peppered with insights, one-liners and missives to the likes of Norman Mailer, Gunter Grass and Bernard Malamud, Vonnegut is funny, wise and modest. As he himself said: 'I am an American fad-of a slightly higher order than the hula hoop'. Like Vonnegut's books, his letters make you think, they make you outraged and they make you laugh. Written over a sixty-year period, and never published before, these letters are alive with the unique point of view that made Vonnegut one of the most original writers in American fiction.

Ishiguro Kazuo Nocturnes. Five Stories of Music and Nightfall
In a sublime story cycle, Kazuo Ishiguro explores ideas of love, music and the passing of time. From the piazzas of Italy to the Malvern Hills, a London flat to the 'hush-hush floor' of an exclusive Hollywood hotel, the characters we encounter range from young dreamers to cafe musicians to faded stars, all of them at some moment of reckoning. Gentle, intimate and witty, this quintet is marked by a haunting theme: the struggle to keep alive a sense of life's romance, even as one gets older, relationships flounder and youthful hopes recede.

Berlin Stories
Philip Hensher’s selection of stories reflects the ‘desperate modernity’ of Berlin as it make and remakes itself over a period of more than a hundred turbulent years. Theodore Fontane provides a window on privileged society under Kaiser Wilhelm II while Robert Walser records the vibrant social and cultural life of the bustling imperial capital. Alfred Doblin and Vladimir Nabokov join the creative ferment of the ‘Golden Twenties’ while in the darkening world of the early Thirties, Christopher Isherwood is seduced by Berlin’s decadent cabaret society, Erich Haffner explores the city’s seamy underside and the irrepressible heroine of Irmgard Keun’s The Artificial Silk Girl seeks fame and fortune in her stolen fur coat. Thomas Wolfe’s hero visits a city shadowed by Hitler’s rise; Hans Fallada’s working-class couple quietly resists the Nazis; Heinz Rein reports on the last days of the Third Reich. Cold War espionage enlivens works by Len Deighton and Ian McEwan; Christa Wolf’s They Divided the Sky and Peter Schneider’s The Wall Jumper depict the Berlin Wall’s impact on a personal scale; Gunter Grass amd Uwe Timm examine German reunification from very different angles. Finally, more recent arrivals – from Chloe Aridjis’s Mexican-Jewish university student in Book of Cloud to the desperate African refugees in Jenny Erpenbeck’s Go, Went, Gone – bear witness to Berlin’s continuing evolution as an arena of the possible.
