Reviews for Kruso
'The German poet Lutz Seiler has brought all his art, linguistic ease, flair for dazzling images and master of what he describes as 'the nervous systems of memory' to this extraordinary debut novel ... Kruso is an exciting, expansive work of German literature; it may well prove one of the major novels of the 21st century.'
