On our Radars (An Invitation)

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to recommend a compelling new novel: KAIROS by Jenny Erpenbeck, a German writer who grew up in East Berlin and writes some of my favorite fiction coming out of the old Soviet bloc. This story is about obsession, exploitation, an illicit affair, the costs of totally surrendering to love, and is set in Berlin before the fall of the Wall.

Here’s an article about Erpenbeck and her work in The Atlantic:

What are you reading that you can recommend? Please share in the comments section!

Thanks. Happy Halloween and Día de los Muertos!

Abrazos,

Cristina
