{"product_id":"youth-wolfgang-koeppen-9781628970500","title":"Youth","description":"\u003cp\u003eWolfgang Koeppen is the most important German novelist of the past seventy years: a radical, not to say terrifying, stylist; a caustic, jet-black comedian; a bitter prophet. His late, autobiographical work--the short, intense autofiction, Youth, translated here for the first time--is a portrait of the little north German town of Greifswald before World War I, and is a miracle of compression: this is not historical fiction, but a kind of personal apocalypse. Also included here, in Michael Hofmann's brilliant translation, is one of Koeppen's very last works: a short, fragmentary text spoken over a 1990 German television program depicting his return visit to the town of his schooldays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wolfgang Koeppen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628970502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628970500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalkey Archive Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolfgang Koeppen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939404382463,"sku":"9781628970500","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7440d67f-57cb-4bd4-a64c-5560eaff7d52.jpg?v=1681441293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/youth-wolfgang-koeppen-9781628970500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
