Leading (East) German author Christa Wolf has passed away; see, for example, obituaries in The Guardian (by Kate Webb) or The Telegraph, as well as A writer who spanned Germany's East-West divide dies in Berlin by Barbara Garde at Deutsche Welle and Acclaimed Author Christa Wolf Dies at 82 in Der Spiegel.
(Needless to say, German-language media coverage is wall-to-wall.)
Two titles by Wolf are under review at the complete review -- In the Flesh and her last novel, Stadt der Engel (which FSG have world English rights to and which should be appearing in English fairly soon; see also the Suhrkamp foreign rights page) -- and there's a review-overview of One Day a Year: 1960-2000
