Authors like Judith Hermann and Peter Stamm have had a significant impact on German-language literary culture and, in translation, on literary culture in the UK and USA. This volume analyzes German-language short-story writing in the twenty-first century, aiming to establish a framework for further research into individual authors as well as key themes and formal concerns. An introduction discusses theories of the short-story form and literary-aesthetic questions. A combination of thematic and author-focused chapters then discuss key developments in the contemporary German-language context, examining performance and performativity, Berlin and crime stories, and the openendness, fragmentation, liminality, and formal experimentations that characterize short stories in the twenty-first century. Together the chapters present the rich field of short-story writing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering a variety of theoretical approaches to individual stories and collections, as well as exploring connections with storytelling, modernist short prose, and the novella. The volume concludes with a survey of broad trends, and three original translations exemplifying the breadth of contemporary German-language short-story writing"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Short stories, German $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a German fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00941384 650 7 $a Short stories, German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117202 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $t The short story in German in the twenty-first century $d Rochester, New York : Camden House, 2020. $z 9781787448759 $w (DLC) 2020055159 700 1 $a Marven, Lyn, $e editor. 700 1 $a Plowman, Andrew, $d 1966- $e editor. 700 1 $a Roy, Kate, $e editor. 830 0 $a Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FAAE17F45F0711ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
