judith hermann is 30. This is her first book. She lives in Berlin.
'A daringly lyrical collection' Oprah Magazine 'An elegant and perceptive reading on the emptiness that fills our lives. Its author is a master storyteller.' Independent 'A collection of striking distinction and poise. Some of the stories touch on brilliance. She can rival the best contemporary exponents of short fiction. Exceptional.' Sunday Business Post 'Tales of impressive quality and formidable originality.' Sunday Times 'Cool... told without sentimentality, drawing power from the precision of the language and from a laconic style that narrates but refuses to explain... a world of contingent events and casual relationships where happiness is experienced as memory or aspiration but never as present reality.' Peter Graves, TLS 'The Summer House, Later has an irresistible power... No word is too much and none out of place.' Neue Zurcher Zeitung 'The fragility of life's decisions are relayed without sentimentality, yet with a quiet melancholy. An exceptional debut.' Die Zeit 'The Summer House, Later has created a big impression with its clipped prose and gentle wisdom.' Guardian 'Judith Hermann's prose has conviction and is utterly of its time...' Focus 'Melancholy, muted, sometimes dramatic, but always pointed, precise and without pathos... The drama of Judith Hermann's stories comes from what is unsaid, from a tension between artful staging and that which really happens, but is only glimpsed.' Tagesspiegel
