Summary

Thomas Melle: 3000 euros

Anton is at the bottom. Once a promising law student, today he lives in a temporary housing facility and awaits a court case for outstanding debts that will determine his fate. Denise works at the checkout of a supermarket. She is a single mother, and her daughter Linda has developmental difficulties. Looking for a way out of the tiresome hopelessness of her situation, Denise filmed a porn movie a few months ago. But the fee owed to her still hasn't gone into her account. 3,000 euros tells the story of the rapprochement between two outsiders and the question of how much love and closeness their lives allow. A brutal and tender novel, full of drastic beauty and fragility...

"This is a book about decay, which opens the eyes to something so ubiquitous - partly visible, mostly invisible. It is about social decay, while psychology lives on. The hero is the one who could succeed. I have never read a novel that so finely, and so convincingly accurately, covers that state, process. The writer does not bother with sociology, the writer does not bother with psychology, there is no effort nor the work of the obvious - and, well, the German novel - it just slips, even elegantly, out of perspective. German blues, we've come this far. "

-Robert Perišić (1975) is listed among German critics as one of the exceptional literary talents of his generation. He is a successful and frequently performed playwright and the author of three major prose books: the novels Sickster (2011) and 3000 euros (2014) and the autobiographical prose Die Welt in Rücken (2016), in which he talks about his struggle with a severe form of bipolar disorder. 3000 euros was a finalist for the prestigious Deutscher Buchpreis award for the novel of the year, as was Die Welt in Rücken. In addition to his author's work, he is also productive as a renowned translator of American literature into German. His latest book Beastie Boys (2022) is a personal essay about the iconic New York hip-hop band. He lives in Berlin. 3000 euros is the first translation of a work by Thomas Melle into Croatian.
