They are everywhere—we see them every day. Whether in Delhi, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Istanbul, or Berlin, they buzz through the cities: food delivery riders. Tomer Gardi weaves their stories into a global epic of our times, giving a voice to those who otherwise have none. Delivering tells of racism and exploitation, of love, family, and the deep longing for connection.

In terms of tone—literary, contemporary, with a sweeping arc that fuses depth and humor—›Delivering‹ recalls Jonathan Safran Foer’s ›Everything Is Illuminated‹, with a dash of Dave Eggers and his keen eye for the phenomena of the present and the divide of societies. Gardi’s blend of styles and literary genres will also resonate with readers of Bolaño’s ›2666‹.

• With his novel ›A Round Thing‹, Tomer Gardi won the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2022

A gripping account of the final chapter of the Third Reich—told not from the capital or the bunker, but through the small German town of Flensburg—a microcosm of a collapsing regime, based on sources never examined before.

In Flensburg, the paths of agents, survivors, and old elites intersect for a brief period in 1945. Amid crumbling power and tentative new beginnings, deals are made, deception prevails, silence is observed—and the foundations for astonishing careers are laid. In a captivating narrative style for readers of Florian Illies, Svenja Falk brings this little-known transitional period to life, drawing on sources analyzed for the first time—and shows how, even in these days, the broad lines of the postwar era were already emerging.

It’s an open secret that Kim Jong-un attended school in Bern, Switzerland. Decades later, his former sports teacher receives an invitation from Pyongyang—and faces the question of whether he should meet the dictator. As he visits his mother on her deathbed, memories, guilt, and political doubts intensify. His partner, Renee—radical and unpredictable—plans to kill Kim. Caught between boarding school intrigues, influencer pressures, and moral responsibility, Frank must decide: flee or confront?

Walking the line between reality and fiction, Tom Kummer has crafted a bold and profoundly moving novel that explores the darker sides of upbringing, the yearning for reconciliation, and the enduring power of the stories that sustain us.

Eating a gummy bear — today the arm, tomorrow a leg. What sounds like a joke is everyday reality for gymnast Amik. For her, every gram counts, every competition, every repetition. And every crossed line is just part of the deal. “The Routines” dissects a world everyone suspects is tough, yet no one wants to see—how exploitative a system can be when it’s covered in so much glitter and shine spray.

Munich. Montreal. Tokyo. When the Olympic Games come around, the whole world turns its gaze to one city, one team, one gymnast. The girls and women train their entire lives for this moment. Out of the collective we of the gymnasts—who in Olympic years live and breathe training, weigh-ins, and competitions—emerges an I: the gymnast Amik. She submits herself to the ruthless logic of her sport, and with every step closer to the winners’ podium, she moves further away from the girls who once comforted her.

With powerful precision, Son Lewandowski tells a story of sport and politics, of fragile relationships and the limits of one’s own aging body. The stories of famous gymnasts and the largest abuse scandal in sports history are woven into Amik’s narrative, making The Routines an utterly breathless reading experience.
