Kairos

Ice-pick precise and gorgeously written, if sometimes freighted too heavily with narrative, this expertly translated work offers insight into the personal and the political for astute readers.

Go, Went, Gone

Occasionally slow-moving but a stunning and intimate look into the refugee crisis; refreshingly, the characters don't finally embrace sentimentally but inch toward understanding.

The End of Days

Entrenched in the history of eastern Europe, and recalling Kate Atkinson's Life After Life, this novel shows how the vagaries of time and place influence the smallest of lives in unpredictable ways. For readers who appreciate an imaginative tour through political and social history.

Visitation

In personalizing historical events, Erpenbeck (The Old Child & Other Stories) introduces themes reminiscent of some of W.G.
