| Publisher Description: Since the early seventies there has been a wave of fictional texts whose heroes and heroines are authors. This book analyzes nine texts by exploring the conflicts the "Dichter-Helden" face, the depicted social context, and the aesthetic qualities of the texts themselves. While the aesthetic strategies of these texts differ, they are all an expression of the frozen social relationships in the GDR and a symbolic attempt to overcome the resulting identity crisis of the individual. The book is written in German. |
