Writing Postcommunismtowards a literature of the East European ruins /[electronic resource] :David Williams. - [Basingstoke] :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource. - Palgrave studies in modern European literature. - Palgrave studies in modern European literature..

Introduction: Exercises in Polysemy -- 1. 'The Citizen of a Ruin' -- 2. Unconditional Surrender and the Ruins of Berlin -- 3. Aporias, Impasses, and Ostalgia -- 4. Trammerliteratur Redux -- Epilogue: 'The Future Has No Future'.

Moving through the elegiac ruins of the Berlin Wall and the Yugoslav disintegration, "Writing Postcommunism" explores literary evocations of the pervasive disappointment and mourning that have marked the postcommunist twilight. With particular reference to the writings of Croatian emigre Dubravka Ugresic, and those of Milan Kundera, Clemens Meyer, Ingo Schulze, �Jchym Topol, Christa Wolf, and others, it is argued that a significant body of postcommunist literature is underpinned and scarred by the semantic field of ruins: melancholia and nostalgia, presence and absence, pride and shame, and not least, remembering and forgetting. Taken together, the writings considered suggest a post-1989 'literature of the ruins', an amorphous, anti-formative framework that also dramatically illuminates the post-1989 ruins of east European literature itself -- what remains when, as G�yrgy Kon�rd put it, 'something is over'.
