Does Ms. Müller's U.S. tour extend west of Chicago? I've searched for a complete listing of tour stops, but have found nothing on the Internet.

Katherine Lorimer : Here is Berlin

nospam@example.com (Katherine Lorimer ) — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 00:11:00 +0100

A lot of colleges and universities have a "Deutsches Haus" as a meeting place for their local German communities. They have a slew of cultural events and activities year round - definitely worth checking out!

I was always wondering what the "Deutsches Haus" is about. I never ever considered that it's a public place.

Thanks for the article.

x.trapnel: Fassbinder's World of Wires at The Kitchen

Since Nick Bostrom had only just been born when "Welt am Draht" appeared, I don't think his "Simulation Argument" was much of an influence on Fassbinder--but similar arguments go back hundreds if not thousands of years.

Katherine Lorimer : Now available: German eBooks

1. That's the million dollar question. The Kindle does not work with our system. And because of an ongoing dispute between Apple and Adobe, the iPad will only display eBooks in the EPUB format (about half of our titles). I have not personally tested one, but have heard good feedback about Sony Readers. There's a list of Adobe supported devices here: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices

2. Ebooks are borrowed. Technically our Library does not own them, but only licenses the right to lend them. Brave new world...

3. At the moment our selection is definitely skewed towards more modern titles, largely because many of the classics simply aren't available yet as eBooks.

Should you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to email us at: circulation@newyork.goethe.org

Good to hear about German ebooks! A couple questions:
1.what is the best product to access them easily --ipad, kindle, etc?
2. would they be borrowed or purchased?
3. would the selection also include less than classic novels --eg, more current, popular, and easier to read ones? Thanks.

Melissa: German Book Clubs

I would be interested in joining one in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I wonder if there are any "virtual" German book clubs? That might be fun, too!

Siddhartha Banerjee: 10 Translations for 2010

nospam@example.com (Siddhartha Banerjee) — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 22:14:55 +0100

Fascinated by the themes of "Visitation" (Erpenbeck)and "Blindness of the Heart" (Franck). No one does cultural memory more poignantly, as far as I am concerned, than contemporary German writers. It would be lovely to have these translations as audiobooks.

I had to leave a comment to say that I think you are doing a wonderful job promoting German literature here in the States. The promo videos are further proof of this. Looking forward to what 2011 has to offer!

Thanks for your comment, Joshua. Macmillan is the rare publisher that sells directly to the public via their website.
