GLM November 2021 Readalong: Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz’s “The Passenger – Der Reisende” (1939)

In 2015, Peter Graf, the German editor of The Passenger, had the privilege of reading Boschwitz’s manuscript for the first time. Written in 1939, right after the November pogroms described in the novel, The Passenger was published in both the UK and US editions in 1940. As a renowned writer, Boschwitz’s work was highly anticipated and praised by readers and critics alike. With its gripping plot and powerful themes, The Passenger has become a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today. As a book blogger, I highly recommend this captivating story to all readers!
