Rumänische Literatur im deutschsprachigen Raum seit 1990
Die Rezeption rumänischer Literatur seit 1990 im deutschsprachigen Raum ist ein Seismograf für die Entwicklung der rumänisch-deutschen Kulturbeziehungen. Welche Autorinnen und Autoren rumänischer Herkunft, welche Werke und Themen stoßen zu welcher Zeit auf das Interesse des deutschsprachigen Lesepublikums? Warum werden bestimmte Autorinnen und Autoren und bestimmte Werke besser rezipiert als andere? Und welche politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Faktoren haben daran einen Anteil? Neben Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt Antonina Roitburd Auskunft zu den Akteuren und deren Motivation in diesem Prozess. Auch die nicht zu unterschätzende Tätigkeit der Übersetzerinnen und Übersetzer stellt sie heraus.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
The White King
'Disturbing, compelling, beautifully translated' The Times 'Electric, urgent, luminous ... a coming-of-age with a difference' Daily Mail Eleven-year-old Djata makes sure he is always home on Sundays. It is the day the State Security came to take his father away, and he believes it will be a Sunday when his father finally comes home again. While he waits, Djata lives out a life of adventure. He plays wargames in flaming wheat fields; hunts for gold in abandoned claymines; watches porn in a backroom at the cinema, and plays chess with an automaton. But lurking beneath his rebel boyhood, pulling at his heartstrings, is the continued absence of his father. When he finally uncovers the real truth, he risks losing his childhood for ever. With THE WHITE KING, György Dragomán won the prestigious Sándor Márai prize. An urgent, humorous and melancholy picture of a childhood behind the Iron Curtain it introduces a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction.
