Brussels. A panorama of tragic heroes, manipulative losers, involuntary accomplices. In his new novel, Robert Menasse spans a narrative arc between the times, the nations, the inevitable and the irony of fate, between petty bureaucracy and big emotions. As the 50th anniversary of the European Commission approaches, the Directorate-General for Culture is tasked with planning and organising a fitting celebration.

Story1
Frustriert von den Mühlen der Bürokratie trifft Franz Fiala eine »Lebensentscheidung« und wirft seinen Job bei der Europäischen Kommission hin. Als er seine Mutter zum 89. Geburtstag in Wien besucht, verschweigt er ihr jedoch seinen vorgezogenen Ruhestand. Und auch das Gespräch mit Nathalie, mit der er seit vier Jahren in Brüssel eine Beziehung führt, misslingt. Dann treten plötzlich wiederkehrende Schmerzen auf, die sich nicht länger ignorieren lassen. Der Befund: Krebs, unrealistisch, dass er noch ein Jahr lebt.

Story1
Set on capturing the elusive inner workings of the European Union, Robert Menasse, one of Austria's most creative thinkers, moved to the EU's headquarters in Brussels for an enthralling, wine-soaked tour of supranational institutions. The resulting novel has become an international sensation, translated from German into more than 20 languages and deemed "the first great EU novel" (Politico).
