Finding a Voice (American University Studies Series III, Comparative Literature) [Hardcover]

Marilya Veteto-Conrad (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The perspective and the experiences of the Turks in the Federal Republic of Germany is the focus of Finding a Voice, which considers the perception and reception of their works by the native German population. The book examines not only the arrival of this literature, but the variety of the Turkish writers' works, as well as the marketing and demand for the literature, its intent, and its place in the modern German literary scene.

Marilya Veteto-Conrad has chronicled a breakthrough by a German-speaking Turkish ethnic group of novelists and poets who have entered the main stream of contemporary German writing. German-Turkish writers have now added their own voices to a society well-known for its resistance to non-Germanic elements. A. Leslie Willson, Emeritus Professor of Germanic Languages, University of Texas-Austin

Finding A Voice is not only informative but also very stimulating. The publication, undertaken in English, is sure to be beneficial to the exchange of knowledge on a trans-continental basis, but even more so for the study of German culture and literature in English-speaking countries. Selver Wesenack, Literary Attaché, Commissioner for Foreigners' Affairs of the Senate of Berlin
