Visitation by Jenny Erpenbeck *Online* *NEW*

A forested property on a Brandenburg lake outside Berlin lies at the heart of this book. Visitation offers readers the stories of twelve individuals who call it home. The novel presents a literary mosaic of Germany's past 100 years, with dramatic storylines and an exquisite evocation of a landscape no political upheaval can truly change. In this four-week class, we will read and discuss Jenny Erpenbeck's 2008 masterpiece. Please obtain Jenny Erpenbeck: Visitation (ISBN-13: ‎978-0811218351) and read chapters 1-4 for our first meeting.
