The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Judith Schalansky's Darwinian novel, The Giraffe's Neck -- subtitled a Bildungsroman in the German original (though not in the English, in part presumably because the play on words is lost: the protagonist is a teacher, and 'Bildung' is the German for 'education'/'learning', so it is literally both a Bildungsroman and a 'Bildungs-Roman').
