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 GuÌnter Grass, Elfriede Jelinek and Herta MuÌller demonstrate the energy and quality of contemporary writing in German"-- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a German fiction $z Europe, German-speaking $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / General $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Taberner, Stuart. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718090525.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131033111.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825041316.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20130702020840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C24EE4C07D5211E1A6C2838D6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
