HILBIG WOLFGANG UNDER THE NEOMOON

An abandoned construction site. Glowering pits and furnaces. A lone man in a bungalow. Widely
considered to be one of the great German writers of the twentieth century  Wolfgang Hilbig's
dark visions have long held readers aloft with their musical language and uncompromising vision
of the modern world. In Under the Neomoon   his debut short story collection originally
published in East Germany in 1982  Hilbig's persistent fixations--factory pits  rampant nature
and split identities--are at their most visceral and brilliant. Rendered into English by
Hilbig's longtime translator Isabel Fargo Cole  these short tales apply fluorescent language
("garlands of cast-iron flowers " "tall dark-green water grasses") to lives and spaces of
foreclosed dreams. An electric collection that evokes the works of Andrei Tarkovsky and
Ingeborg Bachmann  Under the Neomoon is a neon-bright reminder of humanity's folly and the
importance of storytelling from down below  where the workers toil.
