Since his brilliant and harrowing novel The Karnau Tapes came out in 1995, Marcel Beyer has been considered »one of Europe’s best young novelists« (The New Yorker). The Karnau Tapes, which has so far been translated into fourteen languages, tells the story of the end of the Second World War from the point of view of a fanatical acoustician working for the Nazis and through the eyes of one of Goebbels’s daughters. The novel deals with the instrumentalisation of language through propaganda and experiments with the human voice.

Ulli Lust is one of the most important contemporary German-language comic book artists and was recently awarded the »comics Oscar«, the Prix Révelation.

Or is literature necessary, indeed indispensible, precisely because of such atrocities? Which methods must such a...
