AlbakiReads Editorial

A story told through letters

Told entirely through fictional correspondence, Address Unknown connects San Francisco and Germany through the relationship between a Jewish art dealer and his former business partner, who has returned to Germany. The letter format makes their changing distance and connection the book’s organizing structure. First published in 1938, the work places this exchange in the period leading up to the Second World War, with the characters’ personal relationship set against a sharply divided historical moment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in stories built from letters and correspondence
  • Readers drawn to fiction set against the history of prewar Europe
  • Readers interested in relationships shaped by distance and changing circumstances

A rediscovered classic, originally published in 1938 and now an international bestseller.

Published in book form a year later and banned in Nazi Germany, it garnered high praise in the United States and much of Europe.
A series of fictional letters between a Jewish art dealer living in San Francisco and his former business partner, who has returned to Germany, Address Unknown is a haunting tale of enormous and enduring impact.
