Uwe Timm belongs to the generation of writers whose early careers
were shaped by personal experience of the student movement in the
Federal Republic of the late 1960s. Heiser Sommer, Timm's first
novel, deals directly with such individual experience of the
protests and with a sense of disillusionment which followed. The
author's subsequent novels have, among many other topics, focused
on the issues of colonialism and the environment, while his shorter
prose works give literary expression to his personal 'Asthetik des
Alltags'. Uwe Timm follows the pattern of earlier volumes in the
Contemporary German Writers series. It opens with a previously
unpublished prose piece by Timm, followed by an interview that the
author gave during his visit to the Centre for Contemporary German
Literature at University Wales Swansea. Subsequent critical essays
focus on the main areas of Timm's work, including the student
novels (Heiser Sommer and Kerbels Flucht), anthropological elements
in Timm's work, and an assessment of his shorter prose work in the
light of the essays on literary technique contained in Erzahlen und
kein Ende. The volume concludes with a full bibliography of primary
and secondary material.
