Notes from an Australian in Germany
Comprising the first five years worth of essays and blog posts from my German adventure, Heimat is a collection of stories, ideas, and meditations on all of the dust you kick up when you move countries, when plans and expectations go out the window. It is about relationships; with countries, with people, with ourselves. It is about the Germans, their beautiful country and being quite foreign within it. It is about having a Heimat and finding another on the other side of the world.
„What I Know About Germans: 101 Observations“ is a hilarious tribute to the quirks and character traits of a nation, lovingly compiled by an Australian writer living in Münster. What started as an article on expat website überlin soon became an online phenomenon – grabbing the attention of Germany’s Bild, Stern magazine and Financial Times Deutschland, as well as many other sites and forums. Countless clicks and over 40,000 Facebook likes later, the social media sensation has been brought to life as a book. „What I Know About Germans“ features all-new illustrations and over 100 tongue-in-cheek observations that will ring true with German natives and visitors alike."
