Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Drawing on writers such as Hannah Arendt, Viktor Klemperer, Heiner Müller, and W. G. Sebald (among others), Grünbein describes the current state of German national psychology as still recovering from its Nazi past, still searching for its own appropriate literature." * Choice *
"These lectures identify Grünbein as both a poet and a German struggling to come to terms with his language. Grünbein interweaves sensitive readings of sociology, philosophy and contemporary diarists in an attempt to make some sense of the contentious subject of Germanness." * Times Literary Supplement *
