Waiting, wishing, friendship – Jenny Erpenbeck’s latest novel
In her new novel Go, went, gone, the Berlin author Jenny Erpenbeck describes the situation of African refugees in Berlin.
An irregular verb adorns the cover of the new book by Jenny Erpenbeck: Go, went, gone is the name of the novel by the Berlin author. Erpenbeck writes about the situation of African refugees in Berlin, which is as multifaceted as the meanings and forms of the verb ‘to go’: the novel is about waiting and about unfulfilled wishes, about bureaucracy and being at its mercy, and about new friendships.
