The Ends of Satire

Viac o knihe

Exploring the evolution of satire in the postwar era, this study identifies it not as a standalone genre but as a collection of writing practices, including inversion, myth-making, and citation. By analyzing how contemporary writers and theorists utilize these techniques in various contexts, the book redefines the relationship between German postwar literature and the history of satire, as well as the interplay between literature and theory.
