Oh, how great! has won the international booker prize:

I haven't read this particular novel of hers (but I bought it as a present for my partner and now asked him to bring it to NL so I can do so on our upcoming vacation 😅), but her "Visitation" and "The End of Days" are books I keep recommending. I've also heard the translations are amazing!

(Yes, I'm distracting myself but Erpenbeck is seriously an absolutely stand out writer!)

Super excited about this, too.
Kairos is waiting to be read on my bookshelf.
I've also read Jenny Erpenbeck's novel 'Go Went Gone' (Gehen, ging, gegangen) which is wonderful and heartbreaking and heartwarming

@kerstinsailer I haven't read this one (it was a bit too fresh and too close to home emotionally when it came out), but it's also on my reading list!
