About this book
There are echoes of both Holmqvist's The Unit and Project Itoh's Harmony in this novel by one of Germany's leading young writers. Derived from an earlier play by Zeh, The Method is set in a future "health dictatorship" where strict laws are enforced to ensure that everyone is as healthy as possible. When one man commits suicide to protest against the system, his sister slowly comes to question the METHOD, and eventually becomes a rebel in her own right.Why it's on the listJuli Zeh's work is highly praised in Germany, so it is fortunate that we have a translation that is alive to the subtleties and strengths of her writing.
