Das Paradies meines Nachbarn

Hello, this is Ali-Reza writing. I knew your mother well and have a letter that I need to deliver to you. It is important. For you at least as much as for me. Ali Najjar believes he has left his past far behind. He has long arrived in Germany, successful as a product designer. Iran, Tehran, his family are a foreign world to him. Then he receives a message from a stranger. And everything he has held onto until now begins to waver. You bear no guilt, and yet you do. I suppose that’s what it means to live. One of the most exciting voices in German-language literature. About the foreignness within ourselves and the responsibility we have for others. Multiple award-winning author: most recently the Debut Prize/Austrian Book Prize.
