Reviews

The great strengths of Byrnes' monograph are its evenness, coherence and clarity. It is carefully presented and elegantly written, providing a very good introduction to readers interested in Maron's work and its relationship to the post-Wende context. For this reason, it will be a welcome source for those teaching contemporary German-language texts in third-level institutions. (Gillian Pye, Germanistik in Ireland)
