The new books by Uwe Tillkamp and Eckhart Nickel in SWR2 magazine are worth reading – SWR2

Our heroines move on winding paths in this well-read magazine: Fabian Hoffmann is the name of the main character in Uwe Tellkamp’s new novel “Der Schlaf in den Uhren”, who moves through the labyrinths of a mysterious underground world.

In Eckhart Nickel’s exquisitely exaggerated artistic novel “Spitzweg” we follow the narrator through widely manifolded landscapes – both real and painted.

It’s also about the wonderful online platform Write On: refugee authors can do just that: keep writing in their own language. Now you can hear them in an audiobook anthology.

American Nicole Krause says in “Being a Man. Stories” of life’s small and great disasters.

A new luxury printing press has just started in Steidl in Göttingen: we were there at the opening.

Poet Dinçer Güçyeter receives the famous Peter Huchel Prize.
