Air by Christian Kracht

Air by Christian Kracht

Blends the inventiveness of contemporary speculative fiction with the literary verve of Knausgaard - perfect for fans of Hari Kunzru, Solvej Balle or Kazuo Ishiguro

It is Christian Kracht´s fate to be among the last humanists, not to say humans, practising literature as the robots swarmHis Air is part saga, part simulation, which tells of how it feels and how crazy it makes you, to simultaneously hold the virtual and the mythic accountable to true and beautiful words -- Joshua Cohen
Christian Kracht is a writer we cannot do without today. Ever surprising, he refuses to let literature sleep on its old laurels. AIR is a transgression-a form of storytelling that reinvents storytelling itself -- Georgi Gospodinov, International Booker-winning author of Time Shelter
Praise for Eurotrash -- :
Astonishing and captivating -- Karl Ove Knausgaard
Quite simply a joy to read... a brilliant and unsettling reckoning with history and memory, and with the ambiguities inherent in the art of writing fiction * Sunday Times *
Not only moving and uplifting, but strangely funny * Guardian *
Deliciously disrespectful ... not only a hilariously unsettling road-trip of a novel, but also an exhilarating read * Financial Times *
Reading Christian Kracht's Eurotrash is like holding up a mirror to another mirror and admiring the infinite reflections * New Statesman *
Hilarious, unsettling and unexpectedly moving * Washington Post *
Very funny and very precisely written * TLS *
