Presents fifteen new German-language novelists and a close reading
of an exemplary work of each for academics and the general reader
alike. After the international success in the 1990s of authors such
as Bernhard Schlink, Marcel Beyer, and Thomas Brussig, an
impressive number of new German-language novelists are making a
significant impact. Some, like Karen Duve, Daniel Kehlmann, and
Sasa Stanisic, have achieved international recognition; some, like
Julia Franck, have won major prizes; others, like Clemens Meyer,
Alina Bronsky, and Ilja Trojanow, are truly "emerging authors" who
have begun toattract attention. Between them they represent a range
of literatures in German, from women's writing to minority writing
(from Turkish immigrants and Eastern Europe), to "pop literature"
and perspectives on the former GDR and onGermany's Nazi past. This
volume devotes individual essays to fifteen such writers, examining
in detail a major work of each. Translated excerpts from works by
Vladimir Vertlib and Clemens Meyer round out the book, which willbe
of interest not only to academics and students of English and
Comparative Literature in the UK, the US, and beyond, but also to
the general reader, for whom titles of texts and quotations are
translated. Contributors: Lyn Marven, Stuart Taberner, Anke S.
Biendarra, Stephen Brockmann, Rebecca Braun, Frauke Matthes, Brigid
Haines, Julian Preece, Emily Jeremiah, Valerie Heffernan, Barbara
Mennel, Heike Bartel, Kate Roy, Andrew Plowman, Sonja E.Klocke,
Jamie Lee Searle, Katy Derbyshire. Lyn Marven is a Lecturer in
German at the University of Liverpool. Stuart Taberner is Professor
of Contemporary German Literature, Culture, and Society at the
University of Leeds.
