This anthology features a diverse and compelling array of writings
from prominent Jewish authors in Germany today. The writers
included here-Katja Behrens, Maxim Biller, Esther Dischereit, and
Barbara Honigmann-did not experience the Holocaust firsthand,
though their works continually explore the meaning of it as it is
remembered and forgotten in contemporary Germany. From different
perspectives these authors offer incisive reflections on
German-Jewish relations today. They wrestle in particular with the
strangeness of living in a country where unencumbered relationships
between Germans and Jews are rare. Also surfacing in their writings
are the many foundations and challenges to modern Jewish identity
in Germany, including the vicissitudes of gender roles, and the
experience of emigration, intergenerational conflict, and
sexuality.
"Contemporary Jewish Writing in Germany" not only features a set of
engaging stories but also encourages a deeper understanding of the
experiences of Jews in Germany today.
