A tragicomic road trip novel featuring the Swiss elite, Nazi wealth and a spiky mother-son relationship
'Odd and evocative, a frolicking rumination' TIMES CRITICS' BEST BOOK OF 2024
Realising he and she are the very worst kind of people, our unnamed middle-aged narrator embarks on a highly dubious road trip through Switzerland with his terminally ill and terminally drunken mother. They try unsuccessfully to give away or squander the fortune she has amassed from investing in armament industry shares. Along the journey they bicker endlessly over the past, throw handfuls of francs into a ravine and exasperate the living daylights out of their long-suffering taxi driver. The crimes of the twentieth century are never far behind, but neither is the need for more vodka.
Eurotrash is a bitterly comic, vertiginous mirror-cabinet of familial and historical reckoning. Kracht's novel is a narrative tour-de-force of the tenderness and spite meted out between two people who cannot escape one another.
Praise for Christian Kracht:
'Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation' Joshua Cohen
'Astonishing and captivating' Karl Ove Knausgaard
