"Fallada is extraordinary . These stories of love and hate, sadism and masochism, are compelling in isolation. But what makes them remarkable is that they prefigure his final works." --Geordie Williamson, "A precious treat for Fallada fans: Lilly and her Slave tells a MeToo story from 1920s Berlin." --Marc Reichwein, Literarische Welt "These tales from the estate of Hans Fallada are a gem for fans, as are the circumstances of their discovery." --Welt am Sonntag Praise for Hans Fallada: "Fallada deserves high praise for having reported so realistically, so truthfully, with such closeness to life." --Herman Hesse "I very much enjoyed the rediscovery of Hans Fallada . a wonderful novel.

Compelling." --Ian McEwan Praise for Nightmare in Berlin: "Here was a writer whose courage was to stay behind and turn his suffering and the suffering of others into extraordinary literature." --Financial Times "Fallada describes Berlin as an almost post-apocalyptic city dominated by death, drugs, apathy, and the almost blackly comic pettiness of the human survival instinct. This translation of this compelling novel enables a new audience to experience Fallada's fascinating and conflicted perspective." --Booklist "This is a tense, atmospheric, almost dreamlike novel, shifting between moods of despair and hope. It is rich in internal stories . bold, strident, ironic and often ambivalent fiction." --Eileen Battersby, The Irish Times Praise for Every Man Dies Alone: "The greatest book ever written about German resistance to the Nazis.

" --Primo Levi "Has something of the horror of Conrad, the madness of Dostoyevsky, and the chilling menace of Capote." --The New York Times "[Every Man Dies Alone] has the suspense of a John le Carré novel, and offers a visceral, chilling portrait of the distrust that permeated everyday German life during the war." --The New Yorker "Has something of the horror of Conrad, the madness of Dostoyevsky, and the chilling menace of Capote." --The New York Times "[A]t once a riveting page turner and a memorable portrait of wartime Berlin." --John Powers for Fresh Air / NPR Books We Like.
