«Das Muschelessen» is the novel by German writer Birgit Vanderbeke, published by Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (109 pages, in German).
A mother, her daughter and her son wait for the father, who arrives late, before a mountain of mussels that only he likes. To endure the wait, they talk; the longer the father delays, the more open the conversation becomes and the more merciless the gaze on the authoritarian patriarch, until the facade of the apparent idyllic family cracks.
Winner of the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize in 1990, this edition is number 13783 in the Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag series.
Short novel, commonly read in German schools and suitable for those studying German-language literature.
