Wow, thanks so much for your such a thorough, in-depth response! If I wasn't on vacation, I would go into more detail, but now I can only say: The quote from the Turkish writer says it all... ;-)
Very interesting that Zweig is one of the most read German speaking authors in Turkey. I would not have thought now.
What about Günter Grass? That is my absolute favorite author - not only because he lived very close to my hometown. No, I already chose him when he wasn't yet a Nobel Prize winner.... ;-) I don't even know if Grass is so worth reading in translation. He played with his mother tongue like no other! A single sentence of his sometimes covers a whole book page and is still comprehensible. Ingenious!
