INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE 2025

'Odd and evocative, a frolicking rumination' TIMES CRITICS' BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Hilarious, unsettling and unexpectedly moving' FINANCIAL TIMES BEST TRANSLATED BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Astonishing and captivating' KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD
'Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation' JOSHUA COHEN

Realising he and she are the worst kind of people, a middle-aged man embarks on a dubious road trip through Switzerland with his eighty-year-old mother, recently discharged from a mental institution. Driving across the country, they attempt to give away her arms-industry wealth, but a fortune of such immensity is hard to squander. Haunted in different ways by the figure of her father, an ardent supporter of Nazism, mother and son can no longer avoid delving into the darkest truths about their past.

Eurotrash is an unsparingly funny, vertiginous mirror-cabinet of familial and historical reckoning, a tragicomic quest punctuated by the tenderness and spite meted out between two people who cannot escape one another.

'There's a refreshing, bright moral clarity to Eurotrash' NELL ZINK
'Brilliantly caustic' i PAPER
