Distorted Reflections: The Public and Private Faces of the Author in the Work of Uwe Johnson, Günther Grass and Martin Walser, 1965-1975

By Stuart Taberner

This volume presents a new approach to the political engagement of three major West German authors, Uwe Johnson, Guenther Grass and Martin Walser. Whereas analysis of intellectuals' participation in the political upheaval of the late 1960s has tended to focus on speeches written in response to contemporary events, this book examines works of fiction for the way in which authors reflected upont their engagement.
