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 Günter Grass, Elfriede Jelinek and Herta Müller demonstrate the energy and quality of contemporary writing in German"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references (pages 284-301) and index. 505 00 |tIntroduction: the novel in German since 1990 / |rStuart Taberner -- |tRobert Schindel's Gebürtig (Born-Where) / |rHelmut Schmitz -- |tGünter Grass's Ein weites Feld (Too Far Afield) / |rRebecca Braun -- |tThomas Brussig's Helden wie wir (Heroes Like Us) / |rAnna Saunders -- |tChrista Wolf's Medea: Stimmen (Medea: A Modern Retelling) / |rGeorgina Paul -- |tZafer Şenocak's Gefährliche Verwandschaft (Perilous Kinship) / |rMoray McGowan -- |tMonika Maron's Endmoränen (End Moraines) / |rKatharina Gerstenberger -- |tMartin Walser's Ein springender Brunnen (A Gushing Fountain) / |rKathrin Schödel -- |tMichael Kleeberg's Ein Garten im Norden (A Garden in the North) / |rStephen Brockmann -- |tChristian Kracht's Faserland (Frayed-Land) / |rJulian Preece -- |tElfriede Jelinek's Gier (Greed) / |rHelen Finch -- |tKaren Duve's Dies ist kein Liebeslied (This is Not a Love-Song) / |rAlison Lewis -- |tHerta Müller's Herztier (The Land of Green Plums) / |rLyn Marven -- |tW.
