Worldliness, Jewish Purpose, and the Non-Jewish Jewish Narrator in Olga Grjasnowa’s Der verlorene Sohn (2020)
The worldliness that characterizes the literary fiction of the self-identified Jewish writer Olga Grjasnowa can be understood as an expression of “Jewish purpose” (Adam Sutcliffe), entailing solidarity with other persecuted minorities rooted in the Jewish experience, and especially Jewish suffering. This article focuses on Grjasnowa’s Der verlorene Sohn, in which a Muslim child is taken from his family and brought to St. Petersburg. The article e…
Narrative and Empathy
This article examines Vladimir Vertlib's Viktor hilft (2018) and Olga Grjasnowa's Gott ist nicht schüchtern (2017) in relation to the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’ and specifically the disillusionment of humanitarianism that has become evident in recent years following the war on terror, the 2008 economic crisis, the rise of popularism, and the rapid explosion of humanitarian need. In the main body of the article, it is argued that both novels engage cri…
The possibilities and pitfalls of a Jewish cosmopolitanism
In his Jewish Memory and the Cosmopolitan Order (2011), Natan Sznaider shows how Jewish thinkers both before and after the Holocaust have advanced universalist ideas out of their particularist Jewish identities, connecting the Jewish experience to contemporary cosmopolitan concerns such as Human Rights, genocide prevention and international justice. Sznaider focuses on Hannah Arendt and illustrates how this post-Holocaust Jewish thinker both defe…
Aging, Late Style, and Untimeliness in Recent Literary Fiction by Martin Walser
Many of Martin Walser's early works describe the triumph of conformity over subjectivity. From the early 1990s, however, Walser's characters begin to develop a stubborn insistence on self-expression, and this externalizes their author's “late style.” In a series of extraordinarily diverse novels and collections of aphorisms, Walser elaborates what Edward W. Said calls in On Late Style (2006) an aesthetic of “intransigence, difficulty and unresolv…
Memory, Cosmopolitanism and Nation
One of the most salient aspects of our transnational age is the way ‘memory’ has emerged as the bearer of a cosmopolitan ethics.1 Within the frequently heard proclamation of the universally transformative power of ‘memory-work’, it appears that still resonant historical injustices may be acknowledged, the pain of persistent traumas eased if not erased, and the promise of a perpetual peace kept alive. Certainly, a growing body of scholarly literat…
Born Under Auschwitz
The Meaning of The Nazi Past in The Post-Postwar
Today, Germany may finally be emerging into its “post–post-war,” some twenty-plus years after the term was first coined in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War (see Kirchner and Sperling). First, a period of nearly seventy years has passed since the end of the Second World War. The last wartime generation is dying out, and soon there will be no living witnesses to the twelve years of National Socialism that so …
Was Gesagt Werden Muss’
Günter Grass's prose poem ‘Was gesagt werden muss’ caused immediate controversy upon its publication in the Süddeutsche Zeitung , La Repubblica und El País in April 2012. Grass's critics were appalled by his designation of a nuclear‐armed Israel as a threat to world peace. Some even accused him of anti‐Semitism or of trying to sublimate feelings of guilt or shame for his brief wartime service in the Waffen SS into a presentation of Germany's form…
Novel in German Since 1990
Diversity is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary German-language literature, not just in terms of the variety of authors writing in German today, but also in relation to theme, form, technique and style. 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 reading…
Transnationalism in Contemporary German-language Fiction by Nonminority Writers
“Kann schon sein, daß in jedem Buch von ihm etwas Egomäßiges rauszufinden ist” 1
This article examines the tension between private shame and social and political engagement which, it might be argued, permeates Günter Grass's entire æuvre, with specific reference to Die Box . The articles begins with a discussion of “shame” as a motivation for Grass's literary and political work and sets out a distinction between the author's “political” private biography—his youthful admiration for Hitler and his Waffen SS service—and the “pr…

German Culture, Politics, and Literature into the Twenty-First Century
Philo-Semitism in Recent German Film
This article argues that Germany's post-unification ‘fascination for things Jewish’ (Jack Zipes) may be contextualised within broader debates on German ‘normalisation’. Contemporary philo-Semitism, it is suggested, draws for the most part on one of two very different re-imaginings of a highly idealised, if not illusory, German-Jewish symbiosis destroyed by the Holocaust. On the one hand, we are presented with nostalgia for the Weimar Republic. He…
German Nostalgia? Remembering German-Jewish Life in W. G. Sebald's Die Ausgewanderten and Austerlitz
(2004). German Nostalgia? Remembering German-Jewish Life in W. G. Sebald's Die Ausgewanderten and Austerlitz. The Germanic Review: Literature, Culture, Theory: Vol. 79, No. 3, pp. 181-202
Politics and Culture in Twentieth-Century Germany
New essays on the influence of politics on 20c. German culture, not only during the Nazi and Cold War eras but in periods when the effects are less obvious. The cultural history of 20th-century Germany, more perhaps than that of any other European country, was decisively influenced by political forces and developments. This volume of essays focuses on the relationship between German politics and culture, which is most obvious in the case of the T…

A New Modernism or ‘Neue Lesbarkeit’
Since unification, critics Ulrich Greiner and Frank Schirrmacher, influenced by Karl Heinz Bohrer, have called for a return to a supposedly repressed modernist tradition in which aesthetic transcendence and subjectivity were valued more highly than any moralising agenda. Other editors and writers such as Uwe Wittstock, Martin Hielscher and Matthias Politycki, however, have promoted a so‐called ‘Neue Lesbarkeit’ based on Anglo‐American models stre…
Emerging Writers
The first part of this introduction provides an overview of debates on the ‘right’ direction to be taken by German writing since unification in 1990. The second part gives a brief synopsis of some of the issues raised by a selection of papers from the symposium on ‘Emerging Writers in the German‐speaking World’ held at the University of Leeds in May 2001, and offers some preliminary conclusions
The Final Taboo? Martin Walser's Critique of Philo-Semitism in Ohne einander
Writing in 1965 in Die Zeit Eleonore Sterling averred: Der Philosemitismus – ahnlich wie der Antikommunismus – gehort zum Bekenntnischarakter der noch nicht verwirklichten deutschen Demokratie (Sterling 30). Certainly, there is ample evidence to show that anti-anti-Semitism, at least, has played a key role in the self-understanding of the West German state. The rejection of racialist prejudice, naturally, has been as much about the stabilisation …
A Manifesto For Germany’s ‘New Right’
Martin Walser’s speech on receipt of the 1998 ‘Friedenspreis des Deutschen Buchhandels’ unleashed a fierce controversy. The author’s attack on the ‘institutionalisation’ of Holocaust remembrance as ‘Drohroutine’, ‘Moralkeule’ and ‘Einschüchterungsmittel’ attracted criticism from almost all quarters. Yet the quarrel extended beyond Walser’s perhaps unfortunate choice of vocabulary and may be seen as a continuation of the ‘Historikerstreit’ and the…
