Sommario/riassunto

Many writers deal intensively with the knowledge of physics that shapes the worldview, often ignored by literary criticism and science. Their reasons are as varied as the books they write. Letting them have their say in interviews enriches the discourse about the two cultures with a



voice that knows both: literature and physics. We encounter physics in all areas of life; Starting with devices in the engineered civilization, over the description of phenomena in nature up to the fundamental understanding of the world, which has become different through quantum and relativity theory. It is therefore not surprising that writers use physical knowledge to tell about people and the world in which they live. Experimental literature and metaphors in physical theories are just two subjects that come up in the interviews with Ulrike Draesner, Durs Grünbein, Michael Hampe, Jens Harder, Reinhard Jirgl, Thomas Lehr, Ulrich Woelk and Juli Zeh. Everyone agrees that physics and literature are two ways of knowing the world that complement and condition each other.
