Kleist Prize 2013
Günter Grass Prize – From Authors to Authors, 2017

East-Berlin during the 70s: A woman and three men on the fringes of society. As a quartet of losers working in a private printery they are a ticking time bomb.
In her novel Katja Lange-Müller tells the story of the end – the end of a professional group, of a technology and of a social class. And finally, she tells the story of a phantastic subversive operation ...
A masterpiece of laconic humor and linguistic precision.
