Overview: Wolfgang Arthur Reinhold Koeppen (June 23, 1906 โ March 15, 1996) was a German novelist and one of the best known German authors of the post-war period.
**A prophetic novel that ranks with *The Tin Drum* and W. G. Sebald's *The Emigrants* as one of the essential works of contemporary European fiction.** Wolfgang Koeppen's *Death in Rome*, in the words of translator Michael Hofmann, "is a comprehensive and brilliant provocation of an entire nation."
First published in 1954, Koeppen's novel is a genuine lost classic, a penetrating examination of the angst, anguish and anger that infected Germany after WWII. The novel's vehicle for exploration is a clan living in postwar exile in Rome that pushes the definition of an extended family to its limits
