German-Language Literature Today: International and Popular?

Edited by Arthur Williams, Stuart Parkes and Julian Preece. Essays from the seventh Bradford International Colloquium on Contemporary German-Language Literature held at Hinsley Hall, Leeds, in April 2000. A significant renegotiation of boundaries, texts and perceptions is evinced by analyses of writing from the east (Brumme, Brussig, Fries, Hensel, Krauß, Liebmann, Rosenlöcher, Schulze), from Austria (Scharang), from Switzerland (Bär, Graf, Heimann, Knellwolf, Richle) and from the west, where the freshness of an intercultural Jugendliteratur complements, on the one hand, a deliberately exotic Grenzgängerliteratur (Alafenisch, Schami) and calculated fable-spinning (Pirinçci) and, on the other, the critical and best-selling successes of authors as different as Grass, Schlink, Sebald, Süskind, Timm, Wilkomirski and Woelk.
