“Tyll” by Daniel Kehlmann, original pub. Rowohlt, Germany, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coming to my notice via The New York Times<\/em><\/a> is publication of the English translation of Daniel Kehlmann’s Tyll<\/em>. Only a couple of years old in original, I seem to recall it as being well received, and ‘Daniel’ is a bit of a “Publikum” darling anyway – hence the familiarity of a first name being enough to identify him by many literary minded sorts in Germany. My interest piqued, I have just visited the local library and duly got myself a copy; begging the question exactly where to fit it into my reading agenda!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coincidently some of my favourite UK podcasts have recently lured Kehlmann into their studios for interesting chats that further whet my appetite. Firstly, the Arts & Ideas<\/em> podcast available directly from BBC Radio 3<\/a> or at Apple Podcasts<\/a>, and then there is the Times Literary Supplement<\/em> Freedom, Books, Flowers & the Moon<\/a><\/em> podcast also at Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a little more context and historical background, here are the Wikipedia entries for the Thirty Years’ War<\/a> and Till Eulenspiegel<\/a>. I’m very much looking forward to the read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
