Irmgard Keun - Zeit und Zitat - Narrative Verfahren und literarische Autorschaft im Gesamtwerk

The writings of Irmgard Keun (1905-1982) reflect satirically on their times: the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, exile, and the postwar period. This study, which is the first exploration of Keun's oeuvre as a whole, engages in close narratological analysis, relates the texts to each other, and includes previously unpublished material. It sets new standards for research on Keun, and is sure to become an indispensible reference.
