Making German Jewish Literature Anew

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the emergence of contemporary Jewish literature in Germany and Austria since 1990, Katja Garloff explores how new generations of authors navigate their dual identities as German and Jewish. The book examines foundational literary gestures like authorship, memory, and place, which serve as strategies to redefine German Jewish literature post-Holocaust. Garloff provides fresh insights into both second and third-generation writers, questioning what constitutes Jewish literature through identity, audience, themes, and style.
