Books in the Contemporary German Writers series

Christoph Hein is widely regarded as one of the most important writers to emerge from the former GDR. This volume contains an interview with Hein, a previously unpublished prose piece by him, an up-to-date biography and critical articles which examine individual texts in detail.

This collection of essays devoted to the Swiss German writer, Peter Bichsel is intended both as an introduction for the general reader and as a resource for the specialist.
