Eurotrash, A Novel
A road trip round Switzerland with a semi-crazy mother, a plastic bag of cash and a family fortune with Nazi money in it. Short, funny, unforgiving about respectability.
A writer named Christian Kracht drives around Switzerland with his semi-crazy eighty-year-old mother, a plastic bag of cash and a family history involving money made under the Nazis. Short, funny and unforgiving about Swiss respectability. The narrator shares the author name and much of his biography, which makes the inheritance at the centre of it harder to laugh off.

I was put off by the title, but it turns out this is a fun and high-level short Swiss novel about driving around Switzerland with your semi-crazy eighty-year-old mother on a road trip. It helps to have some knowledge of both Switzerland and broader German-language literature.
