«Mittelmäßiges Heimweh» is the novel by Wilhelm Genazino, published by Carl Hanser Verlag in hardcover (188 pages, in German).
Dieter Rotmund discovers that his ear is on the floor of a bar and that nobody seems to have noticed it; from then on, he realizes that his body begins to lose parts and that even his feelings become mediocre. Genazino narrates this story with irony, attention to detail, and a mordant gaze toward his characters.
The novel was first published in 2007. This edition is the second edition. In 2007 it was a finalist for the Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse and winner of the Corine Internationaler Buchpreis.
For readers of contemporary German fiction who appreciate irony and the meticulous portrayal of everyday life.
