Notes

Description
"Set in the European Union buildings in Brussels, [this novel] is based on Manasse?s extensive research of this much-maligned institution. Without a central plot, it offers a kaleidoscopic view of the machinations and tribulations of a huge cast of characters who undertake the widely varied work of the European Commission. One strand follows the attempts of Martin Susman and Fenia Xenapoulou, bureaucrats in the Department of Culture, to organize a jubilee that emphasizes why the EU was founded, namely, to bring together historically bitter rivals who would no longer commit horrors like those of WWII. Menasse pairs a hapless Belgian detective story-line with satirical depictions of the modern workplace ... In constantly blending styles and genres, Manasse captures the wonderful diversity of cultures that the EU has brought together. Winner of the German Book Prize, this is part celebration of the EU and part farce, a strange, timely novel emphasizing the benefits of international institutions at precisely a moment when they are increasingly under stress." --,Booklist.
