| book description |

A riveting non-fiction book by Booker-shortlisted author Tom McCarthy. Published just before the centenary year of one of the German-speaking worldâ€™s most extraordinary post-war writers, Tom McCarthyâ€™s short book unpacks a single poem by Ingeborg Bachmann. Latching onto two of its central terms â€“ the eponymous threshold and ledger â€“ McCarthy takes off on a line of flight that carries the reader through the work of Franz Kafka, David Lynch, Anne Carson, Sappho and Shakespeare. Ingeborg Bachmann (1926â€“1973) may have spent her career in shadow of her lover Paul Celan; but since her untimely death her star has outshone even his. In recent years more and more Anglophone writers and readers have been switching on to her importance.
