A big, ambitious, over-the-top masterpiece that was hailed an
immediate classic upon first publication in German. Set in the East
Friesia region of Germany in the mid-1970s, Against the World tells
the story of Daniel Kuper, the nominal heir to a drugstore dynasty,
and his struggle to free himself from the petty suspicions and
violence of small-town life. A delicate, secretive boy with too
much imagination and too few opportunities, he becomes the target
of outrage and fear when strange phenomena convulse the town:
snowfall in summer, inexplicable corn circles, a boy dead under the
wheels of a train, swastikas crudely daubed on walls. Fingers point
and they single out Kuper. The more he tries to prove his
innocence, the more fierce the accusations are until his only
option is open war against the village and its inhabitants. An
unforgettable debut, Against the World is an epic account of
growing up an outsider, and the pain, violence, and betrayal that
accompany exclusion.
