Welcome at Droschl and thank you for your interest!
Droschl is in the German speaking world a well-known house for contemporary literature, publishing international authors like Lydia Davis, Oksana Sabuschko, Georgi Gospodinov or Julien Gracq as well as German writing authors like Iris Hanika, Ilma Rakusa, Thomas Stangl, Monique Schwitter, Friederike Gösweiner or Werner Schwab. The names speak for themselves, they stand for an attitude that does not consider literature as representation but as protest and comment from the fringe.
We want to address the reader’s curiosity, those who want to discover something, who focus on words, whose one great love is language, many languages, the innumerable manners of speech.
Volha Hapeyeva
Dictionary of a Nomad
»No,« Volha Hapeyeva repeats, born in Belarus, she does not see herself as an exile, but as a nomad; someone who cannot be pinned down to one origin, homeland or language, someone at home everywhere and nowhere. With this book she presents the »dictionary« of her way of life. Readers can expect sparkling wit and deeply moving poetry.« (NDR)
Florian Dietmaier
Hauntings. Novel
»Florian Dietmaier once again demonstrates his talent for blending fact and fiction, for condensing extensive historical research and psychological insight into his narrative character. In a smart and multi-layered way, he tells the story of a detective whose greatest mystery is probably his own history.« (Christoph Hartner, Kronen Zeitung).

Fake Gucci- Sweatpants on Stage. The proletarian as Literary Star
In this sharply self-aware and strikingly honest book, Dinçer Güçyeter shines the spotlight on himself and the literary world he lives in.

»The new book by Dinçer Güçyeter is a sharp exploration of class, art, and self-assertion.« (Raoul Mörchen, WDR)
