| Body | This site seems to be a good starting place if you are interested in contemporary German literature. http://www.literaturhaus-muenchen.de/home.asp From The Week in Germany, we also have a list of the latest German bestsellers: The latest book by computer nerd-turned intellectual powerhouse Richard Powers hit the shelves in its German translation this week, finding a place within the top ten of the fiction list. "The Time of Our Singing" tells the story of a German-Jewish immigrant to the United States and the young black musician he falls in love with. The two meet on the Mall in Washington, D.C. and share a powerful passion for music. Their love story crosses racial lines a generation before the civil rights movement went into full swing an era which sees their children at the brink of a cataclysmic social divide. Powers is set to go on a reading tour after a successful resonance of his previous book, "Plowing the Dark."
