Das Sanatorium zur Sanduhr

"The Sanatorium at the Hourglass" is a book about the flowing and the stagnant, about the burgeoning, branching, and the retrogressive passage of time. It is a book about the seasons with their light and their scents, but also a book of childlike, delicate eroticism, and last but not least, a book of grotesque figures that opens up a fantastic universe. Following the highly praised new translation of "Cinnamon Shops," Schulz's second book is now also available in a masterful new translation that confidently conveys his exuberantly vivid language into German.
