| In an article in 1990 examining the sudden wave of new home-grown authors on the German literary scene, the "Spiegel" declared that it qas the young women among them who were creating the greatest stir, not least for their uninhibited depiction of the erotic, and it promptly löabelled this pehonomenon "ein literarisches Fräuleinwunder". The present article examines a representative work by each of three writers included under that title. Karen Duve's "Regenroman", Karin Schmidt's "Die gunnar-Lenesffsen-Expedition" and Judith Hermann's "Sommerhaus, später". What emerges is not just the absence of a supposedly unifying approach to the erotic but also the variety of writing on display, in style, contenct and, it is argued, in literary quality. the aatempt to create some grouping largely on the basis of gender, therefore, whilst producing a memorable (if implicitly belittling) headline, is both artificial and misleading | |
