abstract:
Robert Menasse’s Die Hauptstadt (The Capital), published in 2017, was immediately
awarded with the prestigious Deutscher Buchpreis and considered as an unequivocal
success for the author in the German-speaking and above all European literary field.
The seven members of the jury highlighted that in his novel Menasse digs “with a light
hand into the deeper strata of this world that we call our own” and they praised the
book as “a multilayered text that interweaves existential questions on the private and
political spheres in a masterly fashion, and releases the reader into open-endedness”
