The Kangaroo Chronicles is a book series by the German author, singer-songwriter and Kabarett artist Marc-Uwe Kling, detailing his fictional adventures at the side of his irreverent flatmate, a Communist kangaroo. Structured as anthologies of loosely connected, humorous short stories, and featuring a large cast of recurring characters, the material draws equally on anti-capitalist social critiques and relatable absurdities of everyday life in contemporary Berlin. The series was a great commercial success in Germany, particularly the audiobooks, read and performed by the author, with the first volume also having been translated into English, French, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Korean. The first book in the series, Die Känguru-Chroniken (en: The Kangaroo Chronicles), was published in 2009, followed by Das Känguru-Manifest (en: The Kangaroo Manifesto, 2011); Die Känguru-Offenbarung (en: The Kangaroo Revelations, 2014); and Die Känguru-Apokryphen (en: The Kangaroo Apocrypha, 2018). The Kangaroo has also appeared in other media. Before the publication of the first volume, the initial stories were broadcast as a weekly radio podcast Neues vom Känguru (en: News from the Kangaroo), on Fritz, a Berlin-based radio station, starting in 2008. The show was awarded the German Radio Prize for "Best Comedy" in 2010. Episodes started being made available on a dedicated YouTube channel in early 2020, under the title "Neues vom Känguru reloaded". A film adaptation by ZDF and X Filme was released in 2020, followed by a sequel in 2022. Source: Wikipedia (en)
