This German novelist
was born in the city of Cammin, Vorpommern and studied at
Rostock and Leipzig Universities. He formed part of the all
important Group 47, perhaps the most important and influential
literary-political association of post-war German literature.
Some of his repeated themes include the effect
that the division of Germany had on the people on both sides,
and his style changed as time went by, due to his concern
and experiments regarding the language, points of view and
time sequences. His vision is uncritical and he makes no moral
judgments of his characters.
Some of his most important and well-known novels
include Specultaions about Jacob (1959), The
Third Book on Achim (1962), Two Opinions (1965);
his trilogy on modern German history, Anniversaries (1970-71-73).
is also of particular interest. His first novel, Ingrid
Bandererbe, was banned by the authorities, and was published
much later in 1985.
