Photograph: Kerstin Waurick/Getty Images/Vetta. J enny Erpenbeck's third novel Susan Choi kicks off our new series with Visitation, a novel by German author Jenny Erpenbeck. It's a story of the century as seen by the objects we've owned and lost along the way. Born in East Berlin, Erpenbeck is the daughter of the physicist, philosopher and writer John Erpenbeck and the Arabic translator Doris Kilias. Her grandparents are the authors Fritz Erpenbeck and Hedda Zinner.
Visitation is a veiled narrative that shows a little of the lives of a few people who lived alongside a lake that was formed about thirteen thousand years, whose origins might be traced back to a glacier from twenty-four thousand years ago. Beginning the book with this geological origin reminds us of our insignificance and the inevitability of change and transformation. Visitation Jenny Erpenbeck, trans. from the German by Susan Bernofsky, New Directions, $14.95 paper (192p) ISBN 978-0-8112-1835-1. More By and About This Author.
