Son without a father | Longlist German Book Prize 2025

It is early in the morning when his mother calls to tell him that his father has died. The narrator doesn't know what to do. He is alone in his grief. Gradually he realizes that he has to go to Turkey, to his mother, to his father's grave, to say goodbye to him. It is the beginning of an adventurous, feverish road trip across Europe, marked by the shimmering memories of his father and his many lives: of the husband, the pieceworker, the storyteller or the septuagenarian whose dyed sideburns could throw an entire vacation settlement into turmoil.
