My translation of the first chapter of Eine Formalie in Kiew is in Exchanges: Journal for Literary Translation of the University of Iowa https://exchanges.uiowa.edu/issues/see/from-eine-formalie-in-kiew/
pick(Not yet translated into English.) The 34 year old narrator has lived in Germany since he was 8- his family had immigrated from the Ukraine. To obtain German citizenship he needs to navigate first German and then Ukrainian bureaucracy when he travels to Kiev for documents, but his journey ends up being much more than a Formalie (formality). Major themes in the book are identity, nationality, family. Witty, moving, powerfully eloquent.
