The School for Atheists, published originally in 1972, is one of the great works of fiction by the renowned German novelist Arno Schmidt (1914-1979), whose great novel Zettels Traum has been compared the Joyce's Finnegans Wake.Although complex in plot, The School for Atheists permits a more traditional reading than many of Schmidt's work. The year is 2014, in Tellingstedt near the Danish border. Tellingstedt is a reservation in which the few German survivors of the atomic war exist, overseen by the matriarchal United States and the patriarchal China. A "story within a story/play within play, " the wonder of this book lies not only in its intricacy of plot, but in the display of literary allusion and references to Jules Verne, Shakespeare and others.

The New York Trilogy

First published in 1985â€“1986, The New York Trilogy (City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room) brought immediate international attention to its author, Paul Auster, and elevated him to near-celebrity status, particularly in France. This trilogy and his many works since then (including In the Country of Last Words, Leviathan, Mr. Vertigo, Moon Palace, and others) have been translated into numerous languages and have brought him further world attention. Auster's trilogy broke ground in its mix of serious fictional techniques and detective and mystery genres. Geoffrey O'Brien of The Village Voice wrote: "The New York Trilogy are novels of desire: the desire to write a detective novel, to read one, to -inhabit it. . . . By turning the mystery novel inside out, Auster may have -initiated a whole new round of storytelling." This new edition will delight readers and collectors of Auster's work.
