German Amok

The narrator of Feridun Zaimoglu´s second novel is a successless artist who looks full of malice and mockery on the superficiel and shallow world of art galeries, vernissages and the seemingly important artistic bohemiens. His everyday life in this damned world that is falling apart he tries to manage with growing roughness, only really caring for his neighbour „Mongo-Maniac". In his new book Feridun Zaimoglu once again found his own language, intense and powerful.
