Description & Specifications

A literary triumph of love and loneliness, of war and art, as well as a loving tribute to The Great Gatsby, KILLING THE COMMENTATOR is a stunning work of fiction from one of the greatest writers of our time.

Paintings are strange things: As they approach the end, they acquire their own will, their own perspective, even their own speech capabilities. They tell the artist when they are finished (at least that’s how it works for me). Someone watching as a spectator – if anyone is even present – cannot understand the difference between a painting in progress and a completed painting, because the boundary is practically invisible to the naked eye. Yet the artist knows. He or she can hear the painting say: Hands off, I’m done. The artist simply has to obey that voice.

The second volume of an epic from the author who, according to the New York Times, invented the novel of the twenty-first century.

Read an excerpt

Sunday was another sunny day. There was no wind at all, and the autumn colors of the valley shone in the sun. Small white-breasted birds hopped from one branch to another, skillfully pecking at red berries. I was sitting on the veranda, soaking in the view. Nature generously shares its beauty with everyone, without distinguishing between rich and poor. Just like time… No, scratch that, time is another story. Money can help us buy a little more of it. The shiny blue Toyota Prius climbed the hill to my door at exactly ten o’clock. Shoko Akikawa was elegantly dressed in a thin beige turtleneck and sporty fitted light green pants. Around her neck, a simple gold chain faintly gleamed. As in her previous visit, her hair was perfectly styled. As it lightly moved, it allowed me to steal glances at the beautiful line of her neck. She wore brown moccasins. She was simply dressed, yet she had obviously spent a lot of time carefully choosing each piece of clothing.
