      abstract = {After the international success in the 1990s of authors  such as Bernhard Schlink, Marcel Beyer, and Thomas Brussig,  an impressive number of new German-language novelists are  making a significant impact. Some, like Karen Duve, Daniel  Kehlmann, and Sasa Stanisic, have achieved international  recognition; some, like Julia Franck, have won major  prizes; others, like Clemens Meyer, Alina Bronsky, and Ilja  Trojanow, are truly "emerging authors" who have begun to  attract attention. Between them they represent a range of  literatures in German, from women's writing to minority  writing (from Turkish immigrants and Eastern Europe), to  "pop literature" and perspectives on the former GDR and on  Germany's Nazi past. This volume devotes individual essays  to fifteen such writers, examining in detail a major work  of each. Translated excerpts from works by Vladimir Vertlib  and Clemens Meyer round out the book, which will be of  interest not only to academics and students of English and  Comparative Literature in the UK, the US, and beyond, but  also to the general reader, for whom titles of texts and  quotations are translated.
