Broken Glass Park made into a film!
On the cusp of the publication of Bronsky's third novel, we're pleased to announce that her first novel, Broken Glass Park, has been made into a feature film. Although the film is in German, we're sure subtitles are available.
Following the success of Broken Glass Park as well as The Hottest Dishes of the Tartar Cuisine, which was named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly and a Favorite Book of the Year by The Huffington Post, comes Bronsky's most exciting novel to date: Just Call Me a Superhero (translated from the German by Tim Mohr). Here's a sneak peek at what to expect:
After being attacked by a dog, seventeen-year-old Marek attends a support group for young people with physical disabilities, which he dubs "the cripple group." Marek is generally dismissive of the other members of the support group with one exception: Janne, a beautiful (and wheelchair-bound) girl. When a family crisis forces Marek to face his demons, he finds himself in dire need of support. But the distance he has put between himself his group of "peers" may be too great to bridge.
An atmospheric evocation of modern Berlin, a vivid portrait of youth under pressure, and a moving story about learning to love oneself and others, Just Call Me a Superhero is destined to consolidate Alina Bronsky’s reputation as one of Europe’s most wryly entertaining and stylish authors.
