These essays explore the diversity of the contemporary novel in German via close readings of international bestsellers (Daniel Kehlmann's Measuring the World and W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz) and less familiar texts. Key themes that emerge include the Nazi past, transnationalism, globalisation, migration, religion and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and identity.
