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 Yadé 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 Gnter Grass, Elfriede Jelinek and Herta Mller demonstrate the energy and quality of contemporary writing in German.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943776878880,"sku":"NEW0521192374","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-novel-in-german-since-1990-0521192374","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
