RASHA KHAYAT
WEIL WIR LÄNGST WOANDERS SIND/
BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY
SOMEWHERE ELSE
Fiction, ca. 160 pp., Spring 2016
English sample available
“With Rasha Khayat, a strong, new voice has arrived
in literature. Reflecting great intelligence, wit, and
never-ending beauty, she tells of a world, the likes of
which we have never heard of before. Simply
marvelous.” Olga Grjasnowa
A gentle, empathic story of a brother and sister and a book about a Saudi
Arabia very different from the one we hear of in the news.
How are we supposed to get there if we are already somewhere else?
Layla and Basil are like binary stars, inseparable siblings who belong together and
nothing can come between them. Together they are a unit of two against the world.
Then Layla makes a decision that nobody understands, but which changes
everything: She decides to marry. A man form the old home, Saudi-Arabia. A
decision not made out of love, but out of principle. In doing so, she is giving up one
life for the sake of another – one that she does not know, that she has never lived
and which was denied to her by her parents’ decision to bring the children to
Germany.
“Because We Are Already Somewhere Else” tells the story of Basil’s journey to his
sister’s wedding. A last time he wants to fee the old closeness. At the same time the
journey leads him directly into his own past: the charmingly crazy cosmos of his
Saudi relatives – people who were never present in his “German life” and, at the
same time, were always there like a parallel universe.
What could have convinced Layla, a young, secular, freedom loving woman, to want
to go to a land in which women are anything but free? How can we confront such
feelings of foreignness, when they cannot be addressed in the Here and How? Is our
Western freedom perhaps a simple claim rather than a reality, now that nobody is
fighting for it any longer – nobody sees what a treasure it is? The author not only
asks painful questions, but finds answers to them that are every bit as uncomfortable
as the questions themselves, because they touch the inner self.
Rasha Khayat was born in 1978 in Dortmund. She grew up in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. At the
age of 11, her family moved back to Germany. She studied Comparative Literature, German
Literature and Philosophy in Bonn. Since 2005, she has been living in Hamburg as a writer,
translator and editor. She has spent longer periods of time in the Arabic world and blogs
about life, literature and pop culture in the middle East at www.westoestlichediva.de. In 2009,
she was a stipend holder in the Edenkoben class of the Jürgen Ponto Foundation. “Because
We Are Already Somewhere Else” is her first novel.

SASCHA MACHT
DER KRIEG IM GARTEN DES KÖNIGS DER
TOTEN/
THE WAR IN THE GARDEN OF THE KING OF
THE DEATH
A novel, ca.200 pp., Spring 2016
LitCologne Silberschwein-Preis 2016
“Macht’s murderous island set in our ‘real’ world enables a
dystopian reality to be played out in tandem with our won
societal shortcomings; the relentless narrative intensifies the
experience. This concept, combined with a coming-of-agestory involving the potential healing power of low-budget horror movies, is a rich source of humour and an outlet for
Macht’s vivid imagination and elegant use of language.”
new books in german, spring 2016
“A brilliant mixture of political satire and horror-science-fiction – volatile and intense like a
feverish dream.” Kölnische Rundschau
“Here is someone who, with the elegance of a chainsaw specialist, frees wild, wild,
anarchist literature from out of the world’s boughs. Here is someone who freely saws
into the realistic, into the symbolic, into the absurd and fantastical, without having to
even oil the chain, without recoil, and also without losing his own traction - that is
sublime, simply sublime.” Saša Stanisić
Of Someone Who Sets Off to Cure the World with Horror Movies
What to do when you are 17 years old and your parents disappear during night without leaving a note? You roll up your shirt sleeves and take care of the final steps of your education
yourself – with help of the worst horror movies mankind has seen, given away by the village’s
shopkeeper for free.
But Bruno has quite some other problems to deal with: he is not only living in a provincial
town, but on a monstrous island which rose from the oceans as result of nuclear tests: A
society on its knees, a dreamed of nation of poetry, which is now ruled by pure anarchy. Rebels maraud, NGOs try to supply the local population with food (and video tapes), antelopes
graze in the savannah between dumping grounds and a broken Utopia.
Sascha Macht sends his young hero on a journey through this dazzling, boldly dreamed-of
world that is built alarmingly close to our real world.
He is telling about growing up, about the long shadows of the great ideologies und the healing power of horror movies: powerful, clever and wildly funny.
Sascha Macht born in 1986 in Frankfurt/Oder studied Creative Writing at Deutsches Literatur Institut Leipzig and has so far published in literary reviews and anthologies. He is the winner of the New German Fiction Contest 2015. “Der Krieg im Garten des Königs der Toten” is
his debut novel.

BERNI MAYER
ROSALIE
A Novel, ca. 250 pp.
Autumn 2016
A Village, a First Love – and a Secret that Shatters Everything
After many years, Konstantin returns to the backwater town of his childhood, back to Praam
on the black Laaber - deep in the Bavarian countryside. He had always suffered under the
narrowness of things here, but he had also experienced his first great love – to Rosalie, and
outsider like him. Suddenly everything is back again: the memories of growing up in the village. And also of the shadows from this time, because alongside his tender love story with
Rosalie, there was a dark event that unsettled his life at its very core.
Berni Mayer tells the story of a first love kept secret, that more and more becomes a conspiracy against the authoritarian world of parents and church. And he tells how the discovery of a
corpse in a dilapidated, moated castle changes everything. The story behind this body has
roots that run deep into the past and reveals the entanglement of the village’s long-time residents with a carefully suppressed atrocity committed during the time of National Socialism. It
forces both of them to choose a side, and to decide for or against silence.
Born in 1974 in Mallersdorf, Bavaria, Berni Mayer was the managing editor for MTV and
VIVA Online, and he also worked for the Mute Records label. His novels Mandels Buero and
Black Mandel were published in 2012, and in April 2014, their sequel Der grosse Mandel was
released (HEYNE HARDCORE). Berni Mayer lives with his family in Berlin. He blogs about
soccer, films, and the vileness of the world under bernimayer.de. He also works as a translator and writes for the Berliner Zeitung and Rolling Stone.

JUDITH KUCKART
DASS MAN DURCH BELGIEN MUSS AUF DEM WEG
ZUM GLÜCK/ ON THE WAY TO HAPPINESS, YOU
HAVE TO PASS THROUGH BELGIUM
A Novel, ca. 300 pp. - English sample available
SWR-Bestenliste Oktober 2015
“With featherlight sentences that banish every touch of
pathos, Judith Kuckart sets up one episode after the other
before us.” Matthias Hannemann, Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung
"Neither excessively overboard nor carelessly sloppy, but
rather clear in an illuminating way. Her sentences create
spaces for thinking, while behind seemingly incidental,
casually constructed occurrences peer other, yet unwritten
novels. A true joy to read.” Hannes Krauss, WAZ
“Kuckart’s stories make tangible the way in which one’s perspectives on experiences can
fundamentally change depending on the manner in which one’s focus shifts. At the same
time, the author is smart to not weave a gapless net between the stories. Rather, the
characters, along with the reader, are tossed back and forth by life’s game of deception
between loneliness and love, happiness and unhappiness, and are thrown back onto the
absurdity of existence.” Martina Läubli, Neue Zürcher Zeitung
“The resolution to everything in this sensually intelligent, extremely sad yet not hopeless
book should not be revealed. However, thanks to this never smugly boastful prose, you have
to stay on your toes, because behind every unremarkable, ordinary corner may lurk a
monstrosity that could violently change everything.” Hartmut Wilmes, Kölnische Rundschau
A delicate and oppressively lovely novel about the true adventures of life
‘Now and then, but especially as of now, life can demand to be lived impetuously. But you
don’t have to go as far as pretending you are dead, Leonard,’ his piano teacher had once
said to him. Eighteen-year old Leonard spends New Year’s Eve alone in his parents’ house.
On New Year’s Day, life simply comes to him: A strange woman is sleeping on the floor in
the hallway. Leonard spends the next night with her in the guest room. Emilie and Maria
meanwhile, both over seventy, are adventurous, if not quite up to the events that take place
during their stay in a Czech spa hotel. Was it really the piano teacher who drove them there
and did he really spend the night drunk in bed with the two old ladies?
In a merry dance of eleven episodes, Judith Kuckart’s characters experience unheard-of
things. It happens to them like an accident, like a spontaneous memory or a love letter from
the past. It gives their lives unexpected twists and turns and gives the reader an indication
that everything belongs together: Desire and terror, love and death, guilt and happiness. The
mysterious piano teacher keeps appearing in the circle. It finally moves from the present day
to the past, to a terrible event in the summer of 1989, and in a sudden realization, the eleven
occurrences come together as one big story.
Judith Kuckart, born in 1959 in Schwelm (Westphalia), lives as an author and director in Berlin and
Zurich. In 1986, she founded the dance theatre Skoronel, which she led until 1998. With DuMont,
Judith Kuckart has published the novel ‘Lenas Liebe’ (2002), which was filmed in 2012, the story
collection ‘Die Autorenwitwe’ (2003), the new release of her novel ‘Der Bibliothekar’ (2004), as well as
the novels ‘Kaiserstraße’ (2006), ‘Die Verdächtige’ (2008) and ‘Wünsche’ (2013) which was the
longslisted for the German Book Prize in 2013. Among other prizes, Judith Kuckart has received the
Rauriser Literaturpreis, the Villa Massimo scholarship, the Deutsche Kritikerpreis and in 2012 Annettevon-Droste-Hülshoff-Prize.

A modern fairy tale, full of humour and delightful

“A modern fairy tale.” Elle
Sometimes you just need a gentle shove in the right direction...
This is the story of Dorle. She lives in Berlin in a 20sq m basement flat of a grand
house, which is otherwise inhabited by old, grumpy aristocrats from Charlottenburg.
Working from home, she puts together glass chandeliers for a candelabra
manufacturer. And she allows herself to be used as a concierge by her neighbours,
even though she isn’t the concierge – what else are you supposed to do when eight
flowerpots are suddenly dumped on your doorstep with a sign saying: ‘Please water.
Am on holiday. Regards Bock.’
Yet Dorle is undemanding and content with her life. In contrast to Annegret Sonne,
84 years old, and full of life. When Mrs Sonne sets off for a three-month trip, she
asks Dorle to housesit her flat. But only under the condition that Dorle does exactly
the same things that the old lady did to make her life fun: watch films in bed and eat
chocolates, attend wellness and yoga classes and cook delicious recipes. Dorle even
suddenly has dates. Fair enough, the men are all over eighty, but they treat her like a
lady. Consequently Joe, Dorle’s only friend, who delivers the crystals to her every
week, has his hands full trying to remain in the running. But this would not be a good
story if there were not a few detours to the Happy End, right?

An involuntary heroine, a run-down department
store and the love oracle of a pallid fish.
“Linguistically refined and told with a great degree of
fantasy.” - Jana Felgenhauer, STERN
on Die erstaunliche Wirkung von Glück
“When love comes rushing towards you. Just stand still. Some survive.”
Lucy Schröder would not recognize love even if it was just in front of her nose.
When she was 7 years old her father caught her when busy with a series of tests on
the functioning of kissing, and drummed into her head to keep a fair distance to love
and feelings to strong. Now she is grown-up – and still following this advice.
Successfully she repels all advances.
Her life as a designer of fortune-telling snowglobes is interesting enough without the
presence of other people, in her opinion.
But one day, everything changes.
As if the candyfloss machine in heaven was running wild, affection is wrapping Lucy
up from all sides: she has taken up a job as a consultant in the run down department
store Schönstedt, and there her colleagues are so friendly and loving that she cannot
help but open up. The result is an absolute loss of control, what else. Lucy falls in
love. Head over heel. Heart and soul. From A to Z.
Even the oracle of the pale fish which Lucy is just building for a snowglobe cannot
help, it suggests: “Dress warmly, it’s getting hot.”

KARL WOLFGANG FLENDER
GREENWASH, INC.
A Novel, ca. 400 pp., Autumn 2015
English Sample available
“A very good, but very nasty novel. (...) It is astonishing that
just as we were starting to believe that pop literature had vanished or become irrelevant, this work appears and takes it onto
a new level of critical relevance.” Jan Wiele,
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“‘Greenwash Inc.’ runs in top gear, not in energy saving mode.”
Jobst-Ulrich Brand, Focus
“A brilliant, nasty novel about the world of ecological marketing. ‘Greenwash Inc.’ is a brilliantly written satire in the tradition of Bret Easton Ellis. American Psycho without the violence.” Joachim Scholl, Deutschlandradio Kultur
“Author Karl Wolfgang Flender’s description of the advertising business hits the bullseye. His
novel ‘Greenwash Inc.’ is palatable, but then it sticks in your throat.” Pascal Fischer, NDR
Kultur
“Nasty, very, very nasty.” This impression becomes irresistibly clear after just a few pages.
Also just the fact that there is someone here sticking their finger into a festering wound and
twisting it brutally (…) Lustfully destructive. Flender mounts an attack on a whole area of
business. A form of disassembly. An unusually good debut.” Emmanuel von Stein, Kölner
Stadtanzeiger
“Frighteningly realistic (...) Sharp as scissors – a satire on clean talkers and gloss-over writers.” Cornelia Geissler, Berliner Zeitung
A remorseless debut: highly intelligent, shameless and cynical.
You’ve got a company with a difficult portfolio? Genetically modified maize?
Production in asian sweat shops? No problem, Mars & Jungs will take care of this.
The agency offers integral support, from viral image campaigns to the invention of
fair-trade certificates to on-site crisis management. In case there’s a fire somewhere.
In a textile factory for instance. Which has no escape routes.
Thomas Hessler is at home in this greenwash-world. And he is equipped with the
perfect qualitities to make a career in this world: creativity, empathy, self-sacrifice –
and unscrupulousness. For PR-stories he travels to Brazil, India or Ghana and has
the killer instinct for the success of his projects.
He delivers what is expected: The lies we all want to hear. Until he falls victim to his
own ambitions.
With painful precision Karl Wolfgang Flender’s debut is telling the story of a steep
career – and of a rapid decline in character.
Karl Wolfgang Flender, born in 1986 in Bielefeld, studied Creative Writing at the University of
Hildesheim and was co-editor of the literary magazine BELLA triste, as well as a member of the artistic
management of PROSANOVA 2014. He works as a research associate at the UdK Berlin and
completed his doctorate there in Social and Business Communication.

GEGEN DIE WELT/AGAINST THE WORLD
A Novel, Ca. 920 pp., Autumn 2011
Shortlist Deutscher Buchpreis 2011
Our world today: This is what Germany feels like - stirring, highly
charged, unpredictable
“Jan Brandt’s outstanding debut novel. (…) Brandt changes perspectives and
times with the utmost of ease, and his novel is consequently a grandiose 360
degree view of a small world where more of the larger world outside is reflected
than its inhabitants themselves can recognise at times.” SPIEGEL online
“A stunning, wonderfully presumptuous book, triumphant in its obsession for details and lexical richness, that is aimed a world of hindrance and oppression. (…) The result is an expansive mediation on
friendship, the power of music, love and other cruelties. (…)It is splendid how the 37-year old is capable of driving on his complex and multifaceted story about a handful of characters over hundreds of
pages without ever boring the reader – and it leads one to hope for more from the pen of this manic
realist.” Rolling Stone
“One of the best debuts of the recent fall book season. Jan Brandt’s novel “Gegen die Welt” is a powerful story about the last days of the FRG comfort zone. (...) The impression that remains after reading
this remarkably confident, remarkably long novel is apprehensiveness. It is a great story about the
decay of a community and the ugly head that is reared from behind a petty bourgeois countenance.”

“Yes. You want to read this. There are very few who can write about egocentricity the way Brandt does, so self-ironically.” Anne-Dore Krohn, RBB Kulturradio
“This book is four books in one: a Germany book, an Italy book and one about the literature business
in general. Then in a certain way, it’s also the ‘novel of a novel’. (...) Brandt reveals the deepest
abysses of the literature business in a few magnificently satirical scenes. (...) Brandt's voice is distinguished by cynical humour. At the same time, however, he also provides a serious report on the current state of Italian culture. (…) Sometimes he also achieves existential drama.” Jan Wiele, Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung.
“Half fictional and full of references to famous predecessors in Italy and thoughts on literature in the
late capitalist era, enriched with loads of facts.” Literaturkurier FAZ-online
“It has an ironically calm air about it. Not an angry reckoning with the literature business, but a blend of
travel reports and satire. (...) ‘Death in Turin’ is part of the problem in the literature business which it
deals with, but it is also its solution; very much worth reading.” Gerrit Bartels, Tagesspiegel

“Disturbing, bewildering and with a soundscape that has a poetic beat that buzzes

New Books in German Autumn 2014
“With her literary collage (…) Elmiger shows herself to be a talented magician of word alchemy (…) A
mundane, clairvoyant book!” Björn Hayer, taz
“Dorothee Elmiger’s novel Schlafgänger plays with the freedom of art... A decisively more appropriate
reaction to the conditions, the astonishing simultaneity of occurrences, the juxtaposition of boat people
and travellers on the lecture circuit, of art and literature, history and the present day, simply of everything that is the case is surely Dorothee Elmiger’s Schlafgänger.” - Tobias Lehmkuhl, Die Zeit
“Dorothee Elmiger has achieved something very rare, namely a convincing merger of politics and poetry. Schlafgänger is an elaborate discussion about questions concerning voluntary and forced immigration and emigration, about political and imagined boundaries... She succeeds in presenting a book
in which the spheres of politics and poetry sparklingly overlap. It is a brilliant contribution to the debate.” Linus Schöpfer, Tagesanzeiger
“Equally fluid as selective images […] Dorothee Elmiger links astuteness with political awareness
without ever being didactical.” Nico Bleutge, Neue Zürcher Zeitung

Death in the Olive Grove – a new case for Capitaine Roger Blanc
In the Province it has just turned autumn, but Capitaine Roger Blanc can find no peace in his
new home: in the adjacent village of Lançon, a propeller driven plane has crashed into an
olive grove. The pilot of the machine is dead. Blanc and his colleagues hurry down to the
scene of the accident and quickly find themselves confronted with a number of
inconsistencies. The dead man was a candidate to become a pilot for the military, besides
being well-known as an extremely skilled flyer. The statements of several witnesses to the
accident do not conform with each other. Was it perhaps not simply a tragic accident? The
Capitaine has no other choice but to bury himself once more in an investigation. Before long,
intriguing discoveries are made. It becomes apparent that the dead man was working for a
drug cartel in Marseille. Furthermore, his comrades seem anything but devastated by the
accident.
In the meantime, Blanc’s private life remains turbulent: with the arrival of his divorce papers
the end of his marriage is now confirmed in writing. His relationship to the investigative
magistrate Aveline Vialaron-Allègre, however, is not particularly easy. Perhaps the distraction
of work is not such a bad thing after all – but there must be another dead body in the olive
grove…

A regional crime novel, ca. 320pp.
January 2016
Secret affairs among the musical aristocracy
A new case for the laziest councillor in the world
Councillor Fickel encounters aristocracy – will that go well?
After his turbulent forays into the world of bobsleigh in Oberhof, Fickel is happy to be
on home turf again. Now everything can return to its normal pace. No such luck
however! In Castle Elisabethenburg in Meiningen of all places, where Fickel so
enjoys his goose dinners in the cosy dining room, criminal energy is rife.
The musical score of an unknown Brahms’ concert has appeared and caused a
dispute between the City Council in Meiningen and the aristocratic family. Fickel
couldn’t care less about it all, were it not for the fact that the man who found the
score had turned to him for a finder’s reward – only to fall to his death from the tower
café of the Hessensaal shortly afterwards. But now what? He sets out to solve the
case and soon wishes that he had never discovered his artistic vein …
Hans-Henner Hess, born in Berlin-Mitte in 1973,
trained there to become a fully-qualified jurist. Because
the state did not require his services, he turned his back
on jurisprudence and kept himself busy as a writer and
dramaturg for varying television formats in Munich,
Leipzig and Berlin. On the side he wrote long and short
stories, plays and contributed texts for the spoken word
project “Schwindel” that only insiders are familiar with.
After a phase of contemplation, he has recently been
devoting himself to the art of crime again. His novels
“Herrentag” (2013) and “Der Bobmörder” (2014) have
been published by DuMont..

Summer 2005. Within a few days, a female student from Freiburg disappears; a father is brutally murdered and a
young boy drowns in the Rhein under mysterious circumstances. Louise Boni, Chief Inspector with the crime
squad in Freiburg, and her colleagues, quickly realise that the three cases are connected – and that even more

#3 KrimiZEIT Bestenliste December 2015
“Louise Bonì is back. A female chief inspector as we have never seen before.
Haunted by avenging angels, herself one of them, unbearable with alcohol, even
more when sober, a listening monster, staggering from one failed love to the next,
ingenious instinct, unfit teamplayer, rebellious. Our absolute favourite chief
inspector. A very hard, a very easy book.” Elmar Krekeler, Die Welt
“Without a doubt, In the White Circle belongs among the finest novels you can read from today’s Germanlanguage crime authors. [...] Oliver Bottini pulls the strings of this story down to a slender three hundred
pages with great economy: a rhythmic fluctuation between realistic dialogue, pithy stage directions,
dream sequences that are never labored, never forced, always finely balanced and thus producing velocity without careening toward cliffhangers.” Hannes Hintermeier, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Louise Bonì, Chief Inspector of the Criminal Police Department of Freiburg, receives information from an
informant that an unknown man has procured two weapons from Russian criminals. Louise follows up on the
information in order to prevent a possible violent crime. Before too long, she finds the owner of the car that was
used by the buyer to pick up the weapons. The owner, however, has a watertight alibi for the evening in question.
The driver was somebody else, Ricky Janisch, a neo-Nazi and member of the extreme right “Southwest Brigade”.
Louise and her team observe Janisch and are led to further involved parties, all of whom belong to the right-wing
scene. The deeper they go, the more frightening the situation becomes: they begin to wonder whether it might be
only one branch of a larger neo-Nazi network. The main question is, however, how they are supposed to stop an
assassination when their opponent always seems to be one step ahead of them and they do not even know who
the target will be? Then Louise realises who the perfect victim is. But it's maybe already too late...
Oliver Bottini was born in 1965. His novels ‘Mord im Zeichen des Zen’, ‘Im Sommer der Mörder’, ‘Der kalte

A captivating mixture of family drama and crime novel
A sinister family secret on the coast of Cornwall
On this oppressively hot summer’s day, DC Collin Brown believes he is simply dealing with
an unusual accident: A lorry has crashed into an outbuilding of the Woodland Manor House,
which has been standing empty for years now. However, an explosive murder case develops
out of this routine event – once the lorry has been recovered, the skeleton of an infant with a
shattered skull is found in the remnants of the building.
While his family goes on holiday without him in the New Forest, Collin Brown takes up the
trail of the Hattonfield family, who breed horses on the Woodland estate. Should he believe
the village gossip, according to which the mother killed her illegitimate child?
The case proves to be even more dramatic when an additional infant skeleton is found during
the forensic investigations. Collin Brown is sure that the key to clearing up the murder lies in
the family’s past. Yet the truth is even more dreadful – and dangerous – than the detective
had envisaged …
