The German List

We meet Keith under his desk, his knees padded with washing-up sponges. He’s supposed to be holidaying in China with his eccentric grandfather but since that didn’t quite work out, he’s gone into hiding. And now Keith gets a call telling him his grandfather is dead – and not in China either. Trouble looms on all sides: his brothers and sisters will be angry, his fiancé furious, if they find out. Keith therefore writes a series of letters to his brothers and sisters, detailing an imaginary travel with bizarre experiences. With this funny, fast-paced and touching novel, Tilman Rammstedt reaffirms his reputation as one of Germany’s most fabulous liars.
