Umschlagtext
The significance of Günter Grass's literary and political writings has all too often been discussed within the confines of a specifically German context. The essays gathered together in this volume attempt to move beyond such an interpretative paradigm by critically examining ideas of internationalism within Grass's work and by evaluating his importance as a leading German author and intellectual abroad. Established experts from Europe, North America and Australia explore the relevance of Grass's specific provenance for the development of his work, conceptualise his role as a political and cultural ambassador between Germany and the world, chart the international reception of his work and consider the impact of this reception on his Standing in Germany. In so doing, they bring a fresh perspective to Grass scholarship that consciously places the author within the context of different national and international discourses and provides new interpretations of both his literary texts and his intellectual interventions.
Rezension
Der Literaturnobelpreisträger Günter Grass gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zugleich repräsentiert seine Arbeit eine ganze Generation von Nachkriegsautoren, die letztlich Aufarbeitung, Auseinandersetzung, "Bewältigung" des deutschen Faschismus betreiben ... Ist das eine spezifisch deutsche Fragestellung? Welche Wirkung und Bedeutung hat das Werk (und die Person) von Günter Grass im weltweiten Kontext? Das ist die Fragestellung dieses durchgängig englischsprachigen Sammelbands, der auf eine Günter Grass Konferenz an der Universität von Liverpool im September 2007 zurück geht.
