Not New at All: Realism in Recent German Literature
Abstract
The literary practices of the last years in Germany don’t show signs of a coming back of realistic poetics. Postmodernism hasn’t been object of attention, neither in German literature nor in its critics. This is likely to be connected with the interest for the traumatic period of Hitler dominion, which is, still after 1989, steadily increasing. This interest seems not to be the outcome of a choice, but of a lack of deep elaboration of those traumas. “Realism” in Germany appears therefore something very complex and multifaceted.Downloads
