The cult translated hit of 2024-25: a road trip novel like you've never read before from one of Europe's most acclaimed writers

'Odd and evocative, a frolicking rumination' TIMES CRITICS' BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Hilarious, unsettling and unexpectedly moving' FINANCIAL TIMES BEST TRANSLATED BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Brilliantly caustic' i PAPER Realising he and she are the worst kind of people, a middle-aged man embarks on a dubious road trip through Switzerland with his eighty-year-old mother, recently discharged from a mental institution. Driving across the country, they attempt to give away her arms-industry wealth, but a fortune of such immensity is hard to squander. Haunted in different ways by the figure of her father, an ardent supporter of Nazism, mother and son can no longer avoid delving into the darkest truths about their past. Eurotrash is an unsparingly funny, vertiginous mirror-cabinet of familial and historical reckoning, a tragicomic quest punctuated by the tenderness and spite meted out between two people who cannot escape one another. 'Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation' JOSHUA COHEN 'Astonishing and captivating' KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD 'There's a refreshing, bright moral clarity to Eurotrash' NELL ZINK TRANSLATED BY DANIEL BOWLES
