«Teufels Werk» is the novel by Alan Judd published by Fischer Taschenbuch in 1999, in paperback (135 pages, in German).
An elderly man of letters gives a young writer a manuscript that grants him an easy, successful style but blocks his genuine creativity. The diabolical deal pushes him into self-indulgence, losing his scruples and falling under the influence of the old man's lover. It is a modern version of the Faust myth and a satire of the literary world.
The original title is «The Devil's Own Work». The translation from English is by Susanne Mecklenburg. Originally published in 1991, it won the Guardian Fiction Prize.
Aimed at readers of contemporary British fiction and those seeking literary reinterpretations of the Faust myth.
