Hofmann G., Balzac s Horse and Other Stories — 1990
A collection of short stories ranging from the comic to the macabre by German writer Gert Hofmann, the author of Our Conquest, The Parable of the Blind and The Spectacle at the Tower, which won the Alfred Doblin Prize in 1982.
The War is over. Our town has been conquered, and the conquering army-is it Russian? American?-has occupied it in the most unobtrusive way. The Imbach children (and our Edgar) emerge from their shelter and begin their journey through a home town which war, and now occupation, have made into a nightmare landscape. This is a tour not only of the town s devastated present but of its past, it surviving landmarks and its shameful secret history. Our Conquest is a civilian war novel, told from a child's eye perspective, a black comedy but also a thriller, as the children piece together a world from the shards and shrapnel about them. Their curiosity is obsessive, cruel and relentless.
