That's disappointing.

I hope the book is or becomes very popular in Germany. That will likely lead to an English translation being published.

Almost all his books were extremely popular, and most of them were bestsellers.

He also was cheif editor and publisher of one of the biggest newspapers in Germany, Die Zeit. He still writes a lot. Never read something I found worthless, never. When he speaks, I listen. It's simpy worth it.
