Diversity is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary
German-language literature, not just in terms of the variety of
authors writing in German today, but also in relation to theme,
form, technique and style. However, common themes emerge: the Nazi
past, transnationalism, globalisation, migration, religion and
ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and identity. This book presents
the novel in German since 1990 through a set of close readings both
of international bestsellers (including Daniel Kehlmann's Measuring
the World and W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz) and of less familiar, but
important texts (such as Yade Kara's Selam Berlin). Each novel
discussed in the volume has been chosen on account of its aesthetic
quality, its impact and its representativeness; the authors
featured, among them Nobel Prize winners Gunter Grass, Elfriede
Jelinek and Herta Muller demonstrate the energy and quality of
contemporary writing in German.
