Nothing. Another side effect of Chancellor Merkel and her middle left politics. I don't know a single new german book released that was good enough to consider reading it. Some authors actually spoke up that there is a kind of invisible blck list in the industry now and if your work is not fitting with the current Zeitgeist you cant publish anything anymore because everyone rejects you.
Last time the book conversation was in Leipzig some groups suddenly started to thrash two booths because the were "Nazi Publishers" (=right of center,but still more mild than average republicans) and the Convention reacted by announcing they (meaning the publishers!) will not be allowed on the con anymore.

How the fuck are you supposed to write worthwile literature if the whole industry is self censoring to a degree that almost all great literature of the past would not have gotten a publisher today?

If you are looking for help in books, and not in your strength, which will help you overcome all difficulties, then you are the most miserable person in the world.
