Hartmut Lange
Der Wanderer

English Title: The Wanderer

The latest project of successful novelist Matthias Bamberg has been met with astonishment. His new book is to be called ›The Wanderer‹ – and where it will lead him is anybody’s guess. Gradually, however, light is shed on certain events that are unsettling Bamberg. His wife Anita appears to be having an affair and moves out of the apartment they share. So Bamberg books a flight to Cape Town, a bewildering and foreign world, where he suspects he will find Anita and her lover. ›The Wanderer‹ is a story of disturbance, in which reality begins to evaporate and the world of appearances starts to solidify into substance – all the while skilfully held in suspenseful balance by the author.
