Description
Esther Dischereit is a Berlin-based, Jewish-German author, who has played a prominent literary and cultural role in Germany since the 1980s. Through a series of academic articles in English and German this volume examines Dischereit's explorations of female Jewish-German identity in her numerous novels, poems, plays and essays, as well as how she views her own, sometimes conflicted position as a Jewish-German writer in the post-Holocaust Germany of today. The volume also includes previously unpublished work by Dischereit, and an in-depth interview with the author, held during her period as writer-in-residence at the Centre for Contemporary German Literature, Swansea University in July and September 2003.
Reviews / Votes
'Katharina Hall's meticulously compiled, extensive bibliography of primary and secondary works makes Esther Dischereit indispensible for scholars of contemporary German literature and culture and is to be especially applauded. Katharina Hall has done an admirable job of compiling a series of essays that substantially enhance our understanding of the writer.' Anna K. Kuhn, German Studies Review 31/3 (2008)More details
