<!doctype html public «-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en»> http-equiv=content-type> In 1995, fifty years after the end of the war and five years after Germany’s reunification, a remarkable number of literary works were published and later canonized. In retrospect, they are exemplary of the key trends in a new kind of contemporary literature. This volume explores the proposition that from a literary perspective, it is 1995 (rather than 1989/90) that represent the true “year of change” for German language literature.
