Aspekte Litearture Prize for Best First Novel * Prize * Named one the "100 Must-Reads" of German literature in translation by Deutsche Welle: "A century of literature, from Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks to Philipp Winkler's Hooligan." "A compelling story of a lost young man desperate to find his place . . . Hooligan has a brooding power and enough surprises to keep readers on their toes." Booklist "The reader follows Heiko's observations on dog fights, on his forever-drunk father, on his wannabe-bourgeois sister and his long-lost mother. On his boastful uncle Alex, whose run-down gym is a regular stomping ground for failed martial arts enthusiasts, On coke-addicted bikers and neo-Nazi skinheads; and on many other wrecks of human nature. But the story also shows human magnanimity. It focuses on steadfast, unending love and devotion-not only to the Hannover 96 soccer club but to friends and to a person who has passed away. There's more to a hooligan than meets the eye." Deutsche Welle Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "Philipp Winkler has written perhaps the greatest German fairy tale that can be written today." Die Welt "People are always saying there are far too few novels about the reality of German life. Here is one." Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung "The language is poetic. It's raw and craggy, full of dirt and broken glass and rust." Hannoversche Allegemeine Zeitung "An extraordinary literary work about failure." Die Stern "A novel as great as it is terrifying." Neue Presse "The truly impressive thing is how vividly Philipp Winkler has designed the drama of Heiko Kolbe. . . . Hooligan is a really good book." Taz "With Hooligan, Philipp Winkler has shot a flare right in the middle of the other side's block of fans. . . . Ultimately, it is mostly a story about growing the hell up." Der Spiegel "Hooligan is a stunning hit and this year's debut novel that resonates the most." Frankfurter Neue Presse "One of the most remarkable and readable novels of the year." n-tv.de "This is a poetic language. It is raw and jagged, full of dirt and shards and rust." Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung "What Philipp Winkler addresses in this story should grip all of us." BR Puls "In this book they love, hate, booze and brawl, bellow [...] a brilliant young author." NDR Kultur "Philipp Winkler is the literary discovery of the season." Hamburger Abendblatt "A well-constructed work that is simultaneously brutal and sensitive, comedic and sad, strange and familiar." Schwabische Zeitung "Most of all, Winkler's novel impresses with its authenticity." DeutschlandRadio Kultur "Hard like a brawl, but calculated to the very last." Frankfurter Allgemeine "A hard, gripping novel." Die Zeit Online "As if someone had strongly reinforced the true . . . core with eyeliner made of blood and filth." Suddeutsche Zeitung "This novel is high-tempo." WDR2 "[A] novel that promises no less than to encounter another person unconditionally." Berliner Zeitung "Hooligans are dead, long live hooligans!" Die Welt Kompakt "It's not every day that a debut novel unleashes such excitement in the literary world before its release." BR2 "You should be thankful to Philipp Winkler." 11 Freunde Aspekte Litearture Prize for Best First Novel * Prize * German Book Prize * Prize * Named one the "100 Must-Reads" of German literature in translation by Deutsche Welle: "A century of literature, from Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks to Philipp Winkler's Hooligan."

Featured on the Deutsche Welle 100 German Must-Reads Winner of the Aspekte Literature Prize for Best Debut Novel and Finalist for the German Book Award We've all got two families: the one we're born with, and the one we choose ourselves. Heiko hasn't finished high school. His father is an alcoholic. His mother left. His housemate organizes illegal dogfights. He works in his uncle's gym, one frequented by bikers and skinheads. He definitely isn't one of society's winners, but he has his chosen family, the pack of soccer hooligans he's grown up with. His uncle is the leader, and gradually Heiko has risen in the ranks, until he's recognized in the stands of his home team and beyond the stadium walls, where, after the game, he and his gang represent their city in brutal organized brawls with hooligans from other localities. Philipp Winkler's stunning, widely acclaimed novel won the prize for best debut and was a finalist for the most prestigious German book award. It offers an intimate, devastating portrait of working-class, post-industrial urban life on the fringes and a universal story about masculinity in the twenty-first century, with a protagonist whose fear of being left behind has driven him to extremes. Narrated with lyrical authenticity by Heiko himself, it captures the desperation and violence that permeate his world, along with the yearning for brotherhood.
