«Das dreizehnte Kapitel» is the epistolary novel by Martin Walser, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch in paperback (272 pages, in German).
At Bellevue Palace, a writer becomes infatuated with an unknown theologian and writes her a letter demanding a response. Although both claim to be happily married, they enter into an increasingly intimate correspondence; an epistolary exchange that can only be sustained because it is impossible.
The novel was originally published in 2012; this paperback edition, the third, came out in April 2014.
For readers of contemporary German fiction, especially those who enjoy epistolary novels about desire, marriage and theological reflection.
Martin Johannes Walser was a German writer, known especially as a novelist. He began his career as journalist for Süddeutscher Rundfunk, where he wrote and directed audio plays. He was a member of Group 47 from 1953 on.
