The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Frank Witzel's Die Erfindung der Roten Armee Fraktion durch einen manisch-depressiven Teenager im Sommer 1969.
As I noted last week, this was named the winner of the 2015 German Book Prize, the leading German book prize.
Boersenblatt reports that it's already been sold to publishers in France, the Netherlands, and Denmark (yes, all neighboring states ...), and that there's an Arabic offer on the table; auctions are still open in other markets -- with no word on possible US/UK publication. (At 800 pages it might be a somewhat tough sell -- though it isn't even the biggest of the big German literary books this year (that being Clemens J. Setz's 1000-page Die Stunde zwischen Frau und Gitarre).)
