Kurt Kusenberg de Jean E Pearson

Kurt Kusenberg: Studies in Modern German Literature, cartea 19

Autor Jean E Pearson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 1992
This pioneering study of the life and stories of one of Germany's foremost literary humorists establishes Kurt Kusenberg as an important author in the tradition of the fantastic. Pearson's structural and thematic analyses of the stories follow their trail through the worldviews of surrealism, the fairy tale, and the grotesque, and explore their fantastic elements. Investigating the history and reception of nonsense literature, Pearson shows how Kusenberg's use of nonsense and the fantastic facilitates a psychological probing of the 'underside' of the human mind. An insightful and comprehensive introduction to a comic writer of high originality, Kurt Kusenberg: Humorist of the Fantastic fills a major gap in the study of modern German fiction.

Recenzii

Pearson's book tells us how Kusenberg's awareness of the human condition, his anarchic way of thinking, his sense of humor, and his literary craftsmanship have enabled him to write masterpieces of 'Kleinprosa'. This study will help Kusenberg readers and scholars enjoy his works with even greater pleasure, perception and understanding. (Ernst Schuerer, The Pennsylvania State University)Dr. Pearson has become well known for taking up genres and authors that have suffered undeserved neglect. Her work on Kurt Kusenberg is a welcome confirmation of her perspicacity and judgment in opening up new areas for appreciation and discussion. The book should stimulate renewed interest in the teaching of Kusenberg's texts and prod scholars to consider her suggestions as to the theoretical questions posed by the categorization of this body of work. We do not usually pay much attention to humor in German literature. Here is a fine example of that humorous tradition, along with an examination of its roots in German writing. Dr. Pearson presents it with the discernment of her creative sensibility and in a lucid, highly readable prose. (Inte Ezergailis, Cornell University) Jean E. Pearson olegt! ihre gruendlichen Kenntnisse des Kusenbergschen Oeuvres in einer beachtlichen Monographie nieder. (Beate Schmeichel-Falkenberg, Germanistik)
