Gert Hofmann

Steve Mitchelmore writes: "Though Gert Hofmann died 12 years ago, his best novels have only recently been translated into English by his son, the poet Michael Hofmann. They show how a writer found his own way without regard for fashion or fame."

Gabriel Josipovici

UK blogger Steve Mitchelmore directs our attention to this writer. He describes Josipovici as the kind of writer who would attain greater popularity were it not for a "smug provincialism of British culture" frustrating those efforts. He is the author of dozens of short stories and fourteen novels, books on religious topics, literary criticism, creative nonfiction, plays, and even radio dramas. According to Monika Fludernik, Josipovici is more than an "experimental" writer, but one who "presents us with a wide panoply of work that ranges from the sympathetic portrayal of man's loneliness and alienation to the hilarious evocation of everyday misunderstandings."
