«Fundbüro» is the novel by Siegfried Lenz, published by DTV Deutscher Taschenbuch in paperback (234 pages, in German).
Henry Neff, a 24-year-old, works in the lost property office of Hamburg Central Station. Among unusual items —a knife thrower, deckchairs on a train, an actress without her script— he discovers that returning what is lost means listening to stories. The themes are memory, identity, and small things.
The novel was originally published in 2003; this dtv edition is from 2005. In 2014 it was shortlisted for the Europese Literatuurprijs.
For readers of contemporary German fiction and stories about memory and everyday life.
Siegfried Lenz was a German writer of novels, short stories and essays, as well as dramas for radio and the theatre. In 2000 he received the Goethe Prize on the 250th Anniversary of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's birth. He won the 2010 International Nonino Prize in Italy.
