The English debut of an idiosyncratic narrative voice. “What now?” wonders Asta, a nurse who has returned to Germany after a final assignment in Nicaragua. After over twenty years working for international aid organizations, her services are no longer needed. No one is waiting for her. She has nowhere to go. Even the language has lost its familiarity. She stands next to a revolving door at Munich airport, observing the other travelers as she smokes one duty-free cigarette after another. Some of these strangers resemble figures from her past, bringing memories of an adventurous life flooding back. Her catalog of tragicomic attempts at assistance in Germany, Nicaragua, India, Mongolia, and Tunisia raises questions about what it takes to help and whom we are really helping. Katja Lange-Müller’s works have been critically acclaimed for their dark humor and affectionate, nuanced portrayals of characters wrestling with knotty situations and relationships. Revolving Door marks a fitting English debut of this most idiosyncratic of narrative voices.

Lange-Müller, Katja: - Katja Lange-Müller is one of the most idiosyncratic voices in contemporary German literature. Simon Pare is a translator from French and German who lives in Paris. His translation of Christoph Ransmayr's The Flying Mountain, also published by Seagull Books, was longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize.

Pare, Simon: - Simon Pare is a translator from French and German living near Zurich.
