Saša Stanišić is one of the most important voices in contemporary German literature. This volume reveals new perspectives on Stanišić’s work and his authorial persona. It focuses on previously neglected aspects, such as Stanišić’s early prose, his online writing, practices of authorial staging, and the work he has done on the canon. It thus provides stimuli for further differentiation in scholarly discussions about the author and his texts. Saša Stanišić zählt zu den wichtigsten Stimmen der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur. Kritik wie Publikum feiern den Autor gleichermaßen und die Liste seiner Auszeichnungen und Preise ist beeindruckend. Seine Texte haben Aufnahme in die Schulcurricula gefunden, Universitäten laden ihn zu Poetikdozenturen und auch die Literaturwissenschaft setzt sich mit seinem Werk auseinander: Erstmals wird seinem Œuvre ein Sammelband gewidmet, der neue Perspektiven auf Stanišićs Texte und seine Autorpersona vorlegt. In den Fokus rücken bislang unerforschte Aspekte des Werks, wie u.a. Stanišićs frühe Prosa, sein Schreiben im Netz, auktoriale Inszenierungspraktiken oder seine Arbeit am Kanon. Die Beiträge liefern so Impulse zu einer weiteren Differenzierung der Forschungsdiskussion um den Autor, seine Texten und seine Rolle im Literaturbetrieb und mögen damit nicht zuletzt dazu anregen, übergreifenden ästhetischen Tendenzen und Praktiken im literarischen Feld der Gegenwart nachzugehen. Mit einer umfangreichen Bibliografie der bisher vorliegenden Forschungsbeiträge zu Saša Stanišić.

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 toattract 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 onGermany'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 willbe 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. Contributors: Lyn Marven, Stuart Taberner, Anke S. Biendarra, Stephen Brockmann, Rebecca Braun, Frauke Matthes, Brigid Haines, Julian Preece, Emily Jeremiah, Valerie Heffernan, Barbara Mennel, Heike Bartel, Kate Roy, Andrew Plowman, Sonja E.Klocke, Jamie Lee Searle, Katy Derbyshire. Lyn Marven is a Lecturer in German at the University of Liverpool. Stuart Taberner is Professor of Contemporary German Literature, Culture, and Society at the University of Leeds.
