The essays in this volume take a closer look at Germany's new normalcy and argue for a more nuanced picture that considers the ruptures as well as the continuities. Germany's new generation of writers is more diverse than ever before, and their texts often not only speak of a Germany that is multicultural but also take a more playful attitude toward notions of identity. Written with an eye toward similar and dissimilar developments and traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, this volume balances overviews of significant trends in present-day cultural life with illustrative analyses of individual writers and texts. 606 $aGerman literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism 606 $aGerman literature -- 21st century -- History and criticism 606 $aGerman literature -- Europe, German-speaking -- History and criticism 606 $aGerman literature -- Appreciation -- Europe, German-speaking 606 $aEurope, German-speaking -- Intellectual life -- 20th century 606 $aEurope, German-speaking -- Intellectual life -- 21st century 606 $aUnited States -- Intellectual life -- 20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGerman literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature -- 21st century -- History and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature -- Europe, German-speaking -- History and criticism. 615 0$aGerman literature -- Appreciation -- Europe, German-speaking. 615 0$aEurope, German-speaking -- Intellectual life -- 20th century. 615 0$aEurope, German-speaking -- Intellectual life -- 21st century. 615 0$aUnited States -- Intellectual life -- 20th century. 676 $a830.90092 700 $aGerstenberger$b Katharina$01024945 701 $aHerminghouse$b Patricia$01024946 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508303503321 996 $aGerman Literature in a New Century$92436432 997 $aUNINA
