English-language works into German including works by Aravind Adiga, Sebastian Faulks, William Gaddis, William Goldman, Sudhir Kakar, Victor LaValle, Andrew Motion, Jeffrey Moore, John O'Hara, Robert Olmstead, Matt Beynon Rees, Charles Simmons, Robert Louis Stevenson and Nathanael West. Despite his high reputation in the German-speaking world and prolific output, Modick was not translated into English until 2020, when his novella Moos, translated by David Herman, was published under the title Moss by Bellevue Literary Press, New York, NY. A number of his works have English titles, reflecting the time Modick spent in the US. Bestseller Modick's 2015 novel Konzert ohne Dichter, which tells of the difficult relationship between artist Heinrich Vogeler and poet Rainer Maria Rilke in 1905, became an almost immediate bestseller on publication. Modick has enjoyed great critical acclaim in the German-speaking world. Selected works Moos (novella). Haffmans, Zürich 1984 Moss (A novel). Translated by David Herman. Bellevue Literaray Press.
