«Zwei schwarze Jäger» is the novel by Brigitte Kronauer, published by Klett-Cotta in hardback (286 pages, in German).
The novel brings together characters who cross paths in thirty loosely connected episodes. Each tries to defend their dreams of freedom and self-fulfilment against the routines and banalities of everyday life. The imagination of the writer Rita Palka seems to weave these stories, marked by longings that clash with a world that limits them.
Brigitte Kronauer was awarded the Büchner Prize. The novel was included on the longlist for the Deutscher Buchpreis 2009.
A choral novel of contemporary German fiction, for readers interested in character portraits and the tensions of everyday life.
