Narrating in Freedom: Literary shifts Spain and Eastern Germany
Abstract
This comparative work deals with a number of selected novels and stories that have appeared in the difficult period of political and cultural upheaval in Spain after 1975 and in East Germany after 1989/90. Converging forces between the two transitions emerge in the cultural and literary field as a consequence of the abolition of the previously pervasive system of censorship. Subsequently, outmoded taboos and restrictions are abolished due to the contact with other literatures and entirely new perspectives on topics but also formal-narrative methods shall be opened.
