A lively, comprehensive account of recent developments in German
fiction. This book presents a comprehensive, lively account of
recent developments in German fiction at a moment when--for the
first time in many years--German authors are once again the subject
of international attention and acclaim. It introduces
English-speaking audiences to the complex dilemmas that are shaping
the ways in which Germans are presently defining themselves, their
difficult past, and the new "Berlin Republic." The theme that runs
throughout the volume is the ongoing debate on German
"normalization." In offering a wide-ranging consideration of
contemporary German literature, the book complements a broad
discussion of trends in present-day German politics, society, and
culture with detailed readings of texts by internationally renowned
figures as W. G. Sebald, Gunter Grass, Martin Walser, Marcel Beyer,
Ingo Schulze, Judith Hermann, Thomas Brussig, and Bernhard Schlink,
and by newer, emerging writers.Topics include the literary debates
of the 1990s, the literary market and marketing, literary responses
to the former East and West Germany in the age of globalization and
to the Nazi past and portrayals of "ordinary Germans," depictions
of "German wartime suffering," contemporary writing on "Jewish
fates" and efforts to revive the "German-Jewish symbiosis," and
finally, the recent wave of writing about the provinces. Stuart
Taberner is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of German at the
University of Leeds, UK.
