Reviews
Shortlisted for the German Book Prize Nominated for the Swiss Book Prize " Out of the Sugar Factory is an incredibly compelling quest for meaning and companionship through borrowed stories, unorthodox biographies, parallel lives. Weaving her own experiences--and fictions--with those of the unreliable narrators of history, Elmiger builds a narrative that is more than the sum of its parts. The book is hungry, insatiable actually, approaching what she calls "boundlessness"...it probes the limits of individual life and expands what can be done with language, driven by the kind of illogic that gets us closest to truth. This is mysticism for today." --Elvia Wilk, author of Death by Landscape " Out of the Sugar Factory is W. G. Sebald meets Agatha Christie, with a remarkable touch all Elimger's own. One of Switzerland's most promising young writers reminds us that history itself is one great, sordid mystery that must be continually reinvestigated, even if it can't be solved." --Jessi Jezewska Stevens, author of The Visitors " Out of the Sugar Factory is liberated from the corset of the novel, a celebration of storytelling, a daring expedition into the economy of power and desire and into the abysses of our collective phantasms. Elmiger is a poet, historian, analyst, theorist, and gifted storyteller all in one. Few books are are beautiful, as intelligent, as profound and playful, and on top of that, as brilliantly written as Out of the Sugar Factory." --Martina Süess, WOZ "It is already clear that Out of the Sugar Factory will be one of this year's most important books. This is because it delves into pressing issues, but deals with them in a hallucinatory way. And because of the precision and luminous beauty of her language." --Annie-Sophie Scholl, Die Zeit, Shortlisted for the German Book Prize Nominated for the Swiss Book Prize "A fascinating perspective on the workings of global capitalism...The book's dot-joining approach might seem strange or avant-garde; but there's nothing all that odd about Out of the Sugar Factory . If anything, Elmiger has found a way to describe something fundamental that gets overlooked, both because it's so ingrained that it passes unnoticed and because you literally can't see it." --review31 " Out of the Sugar Factory is an incredibly compelling quest for meaning and companionship through borrowed stories, unorthodox biographies, parallel lives.

Synopsis
Dorothee Elmiger's breakout novel, the mesmerizing Out of the Sugar Factory, is a kind of staring contest with History: an effort to map the connections, resonances, and frictions introduced to the world by the sugar industry. But can any writing project contain such devastation?, Elmiger's breakout novel is a staring contest with History: an effort to map the resonances and frictions introduced to the world by the sugar industry. But can any writing project contain such devastation? The narrator of Out of the Sugar Factory , Dorothee Elmiger, is a writer and archivist--and possibly a hoarder--of objects and stories that speak to the profound impact of the sugar industry on the world. Seated in the room where her vast collection sprawls across the floor, she obsessively connects a violent global industry to our unsettled present and her own desires. Elmiger's deeply researched and innovative novel brings together subjects as varied as Karl Marx, Chantal Akerman, the Haitian Revolution, and the institutionalization of Ellen West to uncover the vast network of entrenched relationships lurking just below the surface. Out of the Sugar Factory , in Megan Ewing's matchless translation from German, is a prismatic account of a writer's overwhelming need to tell a story that is true, to follow the sugar wherever it may lead.
