Der Komet 2023
Der Komet. Ein Bericht () is a 2023 novel written by German author Durs Grünbein. The story follows the life of Grünbein's grandmother Dora Wachtel and depicts Dresden during the National Socialist era until its destruction in 1945. At that time, the city suffered indiscriminate bombing raids by American and British forces. The novel portrays how individual lives were affected by the broader historical events of the period.
Ursula März praised the work as "a brilliant example of what literature is capable of: restoring the meaning and greatness an individual fate lost in the machinery of historical events".
