“Daniel Kellman, the most refined German author of his generation, focuses on the life of prominent filmmaker G. B. Paps and crafts a tragicomic historical fiction that, spanning from Hollywood to Nazi Germany, from Garmbo to Goebbels, shows how even a great artist can make—and because of them, be destroyed—moral compromises with evil. A dazzling, captivating book that you can't put down.” Salman Rushdie
“Unparalleled masterful and inventive book. Kellman is among the most perceptive novelists of our time.” Jeffrey Eugenides
“It is a wonderful book about complicity and the complicity of art. Black and White is also funny and clever.” Zadie Smith
“The best book by Daniel Kellman in his literary career so far.” The Guardian
