- Summary:
- The distinctive features of Germany's literary marketplace, the changed paradigms of authorship, the rise of new German pop literature, debates among older intellectuals, and recent developments in the German economy are some of the topics addressed by Biendarra (German, U. of California Irvine) as she lays the groundwork for more detailed analysis. She studies specific works and authors in the context of globalization, unemployment, and immobility in the new economy--including Joachim Bessing's Wir Maschine (2001), Kathrin Röggla's wir schlafen nicht (2004), and Eike Naters's Königinnen (1998), among many others.
