Reviews
International praise for Ostend "A truly impressive work of 20th century history and cultural history, all packed into a mere 160 pages." --Christine Westermann, WDR "Eloquently, expertly, and with all his skills at re-creating atmosphere, Weidermann pulls us into the literary history of the 20th century." -- Deutschlandradio Kultur "With loving care, Weidermann depicts the way it probably was in this summer of many goodbyes." --Elke Heidenreich, Stern "A fascinating book that re-creates the bantering but never carefree atmospehre of this particular summer. . . . brilliantly researched and riveting." -- Die Welt, "Sparkling. . . . Weidermann's storytelling is piquant." -- Publishers Weekly "Taut, novelistic. . . . In lyrical prose, Weidermann re-creates the atmosphere of an ephemeral moment for both writers and the disillusioned men and women who gathered with them. . . . Evocative, sharply drawn portraits and a wry, knowing narrative voice make for an engrossing history." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Volker Weidermann has struck gold." -- Die Zeit "A fascinating book . . . splendidly researched and highly informative." -- Die Welt "[Weidermann] paints a picture of how things could have been during this summer of farewells." --Elke Heidenreich, Stern "A study of the meeting of the crème-de-la-crème of exiled German writers . . . A work of literary criticism which reads like a novel." -- BR "Weidermann's exacting gaze and his wealth of knowledge makes this a highly worthwhile volume--a special, melancholic chapter of literary history." -- WDR 3 "Beautifully captures the feeling of departure." -- Tagesspiegel "A truly impressive work of 20th century history and cultural history, all packed into a mere 160 pages." --Christine Westermann, WDR "Eloquently, expertly, and with all his skills at re-creating atmosphere, Weidermann pulls us into the literary history of the 20th century." -- Deutschlandradio Kultur

Synopsis
It's the summer of 1936, and the writer Stefan Zweig is in crisis. His German publisher no longer wants him, his marriage is collapsing, and his house in Austria--searched by the police two years earlier--no longer feels like home. He's been dreaming of Ostend, the Belgian beach town that is a paradise of promenades, parasols, and old friends. So he journeys there with his lover, Lotte Altmann, and reunites with fellow writer and semi-estranged close friend Joseph Roth, who is himself about to fall in love. For a moment, they create a fragile haven. But as Europe begins to crumble around them, the writers find themselves trapped on vacation, in exile, watching the world burn. In Ostend, Volker Weidermann lyrically recounts "the summer before the dark," when a coterie of artists, intellectuals, drunks, revolutionaries, and madmen found themselves in limbo while Europe teetered on the edge of fascism and total war. Ostend is the true story of two of the twentieth century's great writers, written with a novelist's eye for pacing, chronology, and language--a dazzling work of historical nonfiction. (Translated from the German by Carol Brown Janeway)
