Lenz - Lenz, Georg Bchners visionary exploration of an 18th century playwrights descent into madness, grew in part out of Alsatian pastor Johann Oberlins journal, which is translated here in its entirety for the first time. Lenz is a dispassionate account on the nervous system of a schizophrenic, perhaps the first third-person text ever written from the inside of insanity. At his death at the age of 23 in 1837, Georg Bchner also left behind Leonce and Lena, Woyzeck, and Dantons Deathpsychologically and politically acute plays well ahead of their time.

His English edition of the Nerval writings won the 2000 PEN Book-of-the-Month-Club Translation Prize.
