The last decade has undoubtedly been the most controversial in the long
literary career of Martin Walser. This volume presents a review of this
career, going far beyond short-lived arguments to present an insightful
overview of much of his work. It considers not only major aspects of his
writing, covering both his literary beginnings and the most recent works,
but also different, previously neglected features of his persona and his
writing, namely his activity as a university teacher and his art criticism.
In addition, fruitful comparisons are made with other writers, such as
Proust, Grass and Uwe Johnson. At the same time, recent controversies are
also considered with major attention being paid to Walser’s public speeches
and those works of fiction which have been seen by some as demanding the end
of German self-recriminations over the Nazi past. This volume is unique in
that much space is devoted to both sides of the argument. It will provide
stimulating reading to all those interested in Germany and German
literature.
