Yet many East German literary writers depicted characters ailing and under medical care, and even after the country's dissolution in 1990, writers who had lived there continued to portray sickness and the GDR health-care system prominently in their fiction. This book offers an innovative reading of such texts, employing historical research on the GDR's health-care system and feminist and queer theory to get at socialism's legacy." -- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-232) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Disease, death, and desire pre-1989: Christa Wolf's symptomatic GDR -- Bodies -- Christa Wolf's goodbye to socialism?: illness, healing, and faith since 1990 -- Retrospective imagination in post-GDR literature: gender, violence, and politics in medical discourses -- Haunted in post-Wall Germany: sickness, symptomatic bodies, and the specters of the GDR -- Conclusion -- Glossary. 650 0 $a German literature $z Germany (East) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Diseases in literature. 650 0 $a Medicine in literature. 830 0 $a Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture (Unnumbered) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019015533.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826044000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2BE862AECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
