About this title

Synopsis

For over 25 years, Volker Braun was one of the most prolific and controversial writers in the former German Democratic Republic. This study posits Braun's use of literary references as a journey through literature that resembles a type of self-imposed internal philosophic exile. Literature assumes an increasingly important role for the author. Braun's intertextual references migrated from the programmatic use of the mandated literary heritage to a wandering through the history of literature. The resultant literary works are an extended external manifestation of the author's inner turmoil.
