Driving across the country, they attempt to give away her arms-industry wealth, but a fortune of such immensity is hard to squander.

Recenzii

Resonant and spiky
Brilliantly caustic
Not only moving and uplifting, but strangely funny ... Eurotrash is a knowing book
Very funny and very precisely written
Quite simply a joy to read ... The narrator's mother is an unforgettable literary creation and Eurotrash is a brilliant and unsettling reckoning with history and memory, and with the ambiguities inherent in the art of writing fiction
Steeped in knowing irony ... makes for enjoyable reading
Hilarious, unsettling and unexpectedly moving
Odd and evocative, a frolicking rumination
Reading Christian Kracht's Eurotrash is like holding up a mirror to another mirror and admiring the infinite reflections
Deliciously disrespectful ... not only a hilariously unsettling road-trip of a novel, but also an exhilarating read
Praise for Christian Kracht:Whether he's fictionalizing history in order to question the validity of history, or fictionalizing himself in order to question the validity of self, it is by now apparent to me and to his many readers that Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation.
Christian Kracht is a master of the well-formed sentence, the elegance of which conceals horror. His novels involve Germany, ghosts, war and madness, and every conceivable fright, but they are also full of melancholy comedy, and they all hide a secret that one never quite fathoms.
Imperium is astonishing and captivating, a tongue-in-cheek Conradian literary adventure for our time.
The Dead is a story of love and sadness in times when the weak were broken by the unforgiving ideologies of fascism and National Socialism . . . I read The Dead twice in a row, first for the story and then for the beauty of the prose.
To say a word about Christian Kracht's Imperium would be like engraving Goethe's Conversations of German Refugees into an orange seed. Or perhaps into a coconut? ... An adventure novel. No doubt. That there even is still such a thing
Wonderfully written and full of great setpieces... More than once, I felt I was in a world where some Wes Anderson characters would be just around the corner. Vicious and scathing... it's a darkly funny gem
Oozing irony - and brilliantly hilarious but unsettling
