Description

Go, Went, Gone is a powerful novel by Jenny Erpenbeck that explores the complexities of human connection in the face of adversity. When Richard, a retired classics professor, encounters African refugees staging a hunger strike in Berlin, his life is forever changed.

The book is a scathing critique of Western policy towards the European refugee crisis, yet it also tells a deeply personal story of transformation and empathy. Exquisitely translated by Susan Bernofsky, Erpenbeck's writing raises important questions about our shared humanity and the need for compassion in times of crisis.

This thought-provoking novel is a timely and haunting exploration of the human condition, one that will resonate with readers long after they finish reading.
