Contemporary German Fiction focuses on the debates that have shaped the politics and culture of the new Germany that has emerged from the second half of the 1990s onwards and offers the first comprehensive account of key developments in German literary fiction within their social and historical context. Each chapter begins with an overview of a central theme, such as East German writing, West German writing, writing on the Nazi past, writing by women and writing by ethnic minorities. The authors discussed include Günter Grass, Ingo Schulze, Judith Hermann, Christa Wolf, Christian Kracht and Zafer Senocak. These informative and accessible readings build up a clear picture of the central themes and stylistic concerns of the best writers working in Germany today.Cambridge studies in German.Writing in the Berlin republicGerman fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismGerman fiction21st centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and societyGermanyGerman fictionHistory and criticism.German fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and society833.91409Taberner Stuart1064442MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816741203321Contemporary German fiction4189895UNINA
