Scathingly clever short stories.
Includes The Devil in the White House and The Development of Iraq as a Case for the Files.
At once a genuine story-teller and a literary documentarian, Alexander Kluge's genius lies in the very special way he makes found material his own.
Each of the miniatures collected here touches on facts and is only several pages long.
In just a paragraph he can etch a whole world: he is as great a master of compression as Kafka or Kawabata.
Arranged in five.
| World | He is as great a master of compression as |
