Translated from the German (Die morawische Nacht) by Krishna Winston, and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Macmillan:
Powerfully alive, honest, and at times deliciously satirical, The Moravian Night explores the mind and memory of an aging writer, tracking the anxieties, angers, fears, and pleasures of a life inseparable from the recent history of Central Europe.
The main typeface is Gareth Hague’s Text Stencil (Alias, 1995), combined with the ever-popular Lydian (ATF, 1938).
