Neue Unternehmungen

I am deeply honored that the venerable German firm of Rowohlt will publish two books of mine in late November. One is Die Welt nach Wagner, a translation of Wagnerism by Günter Kotzor and Gloria Buschor-Kotzor. The other is a translation of my second book, Listen to This, by Dieter Fuchs. My German is far from perfect, but it is good enough to be able to appreciate the extraordinary, quasi-übermenschlich efforts on the part of the translators, who faced some fairly intractable problems not only with my prose but with the mélange of sources on which I drew. Meine Dankbarkeit ist riesengroß und grenzenlos.
