Praise for Gert Hofmann and The Parable of the Blind
"One of the great novelists of the second half of the twentieth century."–Gabriel Josipvici,
Times Literary Supplement "The most singular writer to come out of Germany since Heinrich Böll."–
The Times (London)
"One of Germany's most respected postwar authors."–
Publishers Weekly "
The Parable of the Blind offers sly, striking contemporary commentary on the precariousness of language and facts, and, in particular, on the need to negotiate unstable ground–literally, but also socially and politically–afresh each day."–
The New Yorker
