I enjoy challenging myself sometimes to try and read or follow other media in other languages besides English, and although I could skim over bestselling or top/best of lists in other languages, if those are anything like their English contemporaries, I imagine odds are they don’t catch some of the lesser known yet still enjoyable works.

So, what are some works in your native language that haven’t been translated to English that you’d recommend? Also if it’s not clear by the title, could you mention the language it’s in?

    I don’t know if it has been translated but I would recommend “Die Känguru Chroniken”.

    It’s a humourous book about a communist kangaroo moving in with a comedian. Many great jokes have established themselves in left leaning german meme culture as a result.

    The book mostly has standalone chapters, but the sequels have more of a narrative throuline.
