A totally original meditation on how our sense of time has changed over the last two-thirds of a century.\" -- Harold Bloom * Yale University *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a fascinating and important book—important because of the way it connects a certain postwar mood with literary and personal examples. I am familiar with a good deal of Gumbrecht's previous work, and as far as I know, this is the first time he has directly addressed the situation of Germany after the Second World War in such a way. The courage, and intellectual honesty, it has taken to write \u003ci\u003eAfter 1945\u003c\/i\u003e are impressive indeed.\" -- Françoise Meltzer * University of Chicago *\u003cbr\u003e\"This book is willfully 'disheveled,' for lack of a better word.
