Reviews
In the story of Anna Seghers we recognize not only an example of a dynamic life in thrilling times, but that of a thrilling life in dynamic times. Janzen's study is an outstanding contribution to literary history, world history, economic policy, and gender research. -- Dean J. Guarnaschelli * GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW * These comparative chapters offer astute insights, bolstered by helpful endnotes and bibliography. Broadening the view of both Seghers and the authors with whom she is compared, this book suggests further avenues for research and will appeal to a wide audience. Recommended. * CHOICE * Janzen takes Seghers's statement for we write not to describe, but in describing to effect change as her starting point in illuminating the project of left-wing authors, male and female, to build solidarity and thus transform the world, something that continues to hold relevance [in the post-communist world] and needs to be recovered. . . . Janzen first historicizes the Seghers Prize and then examines Seghers's works innovatively in a contrapuntal way to those of Brecht, Carpentier, and Spivak. -- Loreto Vilar * GERMANISTIK *
