«Tauben im Gras» is Wolfgang Koeppen's postwar novel, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (228 pages, in German).
In a single day in Munich in 1949, the novel interweaves numerous characters to compose a critical portrait of postwar Germany. Philipp, a writer who can barely write, wanders through a city perceived as a pandemonium; hunger, the black market and the aftermath of Nazism appear.
Originally published in 1951, it is the first instalment of the Failure Trilogy and corresponds to number 601 in the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch collection.
Recommended for readers interested in postwar German literature and ensemble novels; it is often used as school reading.
Wolfgang Arthur Reinhold Koeppen was a German novelist and one of the best known German authors of the postwar period.
