no man's land



Here's an online magazine dedicated to contemporary German literature translated into English. In their own words:

"no man's land features first-ever translations of fiction and poetry by some of the finest writers working in German today. Ours is a virtual no man's land between languages and cultures - one which, like the former no man's land of the Berlin Wall, is now open for exploration."
