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 Gu?nter Grass, Elfriede Jelinek and Herta Mu?ller demonstrate the energy and quality of contemporary writing in German. 606 $aGerman fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGerman fiction$zEurope, German-speaking$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aGerman fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGerman fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a833/.9209 686 $aLIT004130$2bisacsh 702 $aTaberner$b Stuart 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817981403321 996 $aThe novel in German since 1990$94015895 997 $aUNINA
