Damiano, Carla A.
Walter Kempowski's "Das Echolot"

Sifting and Exposing the Evidence via Montage.

The book offers a nuanced analysis of Kempowski's work, addressing Kempowski scholars and those who pursue Memory Studies, Film Studies, Contemporary German Literature, the history of World War II, the Holocaust, and Collage and Montage Theory. The author elucidates key concepts, provides informed guidance through Kempowski's many works, and illuminates the organizing principle underlying "Echolot's" seemingly chaotic content. The use of Kluge's montage theory in comparative analysis of Lanzmann's "Shoah" and Kempowski's "Echolot" typifies the daring methodology of the book.
