Reviews

»The determination, clarity, rigour and certainty in Cemile Sahin’s tone is a force to be reckoned with.« FAS

»All Dogs Die is subtly constructed, cleverly conceived, linguistically powerful. Sahin manages to depict trauma by working with repetition, by focusing exclusively on what actually happened to the characters and in those places.« TAZ

»All Dogs Die is not only one of the most impressive books of the year, it’s also one of the darkest. A world as Kafkaesque and nightmarishly brutal as Sahin describes is encountered nowhere else in contemporary German literature – although many of the refugees who have fled to Germany in the past few years have similar experiences to report.« FAS

Author Biography

Cemile Sahin is a visual artist and writer, born in Wiesbaden in 1990. She studied in London and Berlin and was awarded the ars viva prize for fine art. Her artwork takes as its starting point the interplay of images or stories, which she stages anew in her films and writing. The effect is to question the functionalization of media and stress the importance of a variety of perspectives in writing stories. Her debut novel Taxi (Korbinian Verlag) is followed by All Dogs Die. She received the Alfred Döblin Medal for her writing.
