« ‚Aus ihnen nichts geworden?‘ Zur Position einiger ‚Hineingeborener‘ im gesamtdeutschen literarischen Feld »

Résumé

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall, the GDR poets of the “Hineingeborene”-Generation are no longer visible as a group in the German literary landscape. But many of them still write and publish. This study presents at first an overview of their position in the current literary field. It focuses then on the writers who gave up the lyric poetry as an exclusive category and write today also or only prose. Some of their books were quite successful in the last years, so that this phenomenon seems in accordance with both the natural evolution of their production and the new laws of the literary market. Those works rely more and more on autobiographical material. Yet, as we shall explain, the notion of “autofiction” describes them better than the term “autobiography”. It appears that this type of hybrid writing enables their authors on the one hand to join a literary tradition which has become important in western countries since the eighties and on the other hand to assert their singularity as former East German writers in the contemporary German literature.
