| Sumario: | This is the first book in English to explore the Eastern German literary trend of the 1990s employing humor and satire to come to terms with socialism's failure and a difficult unification process. The ten novels in this survey include works by Brussig, Schulze, and Hensel. These popular, contemporary texts help define Germany today from a specific, East German perspective. Grounded in politics and history, the texts are analyzed for their literary aesthetics, cultural critiques, and socio-political insights. Several original author interviews are appended as primary sources. |
