The study focuses on authors and texts whose ambivalence on the dissolution of the GDR has not received much critical attention: Gunter Grass, Christa Wolf, Volker Braun, Ozdamar, Thomas Brussig, Ingo Schulze, Uwe Tellkamp, Monika Maron, Fritz Rudolf Fries, and Martin Walser. The author notes that these writers mourned the loss of social and cultural institutions and ways of life, even as they drew attention to the GDR’s totalitarianism, economic mismanagement, and corruption. Th also considers the attitudes of the younger generation of writers, including Jana Hensel. Annotation ©2021 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
