Navid Kermani and the Alphabet up to S
“Germany listens when Kermani opens his mouth” (SZ Magazin). And Germany reads when he publishes a new novel. This latest one tells the story of an author at the peak of her success and the nadir of her life: Her marriage has failed, her mother is dead, and suddenly even her envisioned life as a public intellectual is being called into question. The plan had been for her husband to handle childcare and the household while she sorted out the world’s suffering. In his new novel, The Alphabet up to S, award-winning and best-selling author Navid Kermani expertly links the most mundane things with the great questions of our existence. Just like his heroine, this book is one-of-a-kind: novel and journal, essay and meditation, a literary celebration. This is unlike anything you’ve read before because – like all great books – it creates its own form. Host: Shirin Sojitrawalla
