    We are going to read Timur Vermes' satire "Er ist wieder da" ISBN-13: 978-3847905172, which should keep us busy for a while. We are a friendly, advanced-level group, reading & translating a paragraph at a time in turn. A small amount of homework in the form of preparing for the next session is expected, & where appropriate some home reading to conclude chapters.


    Note: The Autumn term will be held via email. We shall be dipping into the short stories contained within "Tatort Eifel" (ISBN 13; 978-3-940077-16-5) to tide us over.
