Vom Glanz und Vergehen der Gruppe 47 (14/10/2008)

Production : SWR

Synopsis

Founded in 1947, “Group 47” made half‐yearly authors read publicly and endure brutal critique, launching postwar German literature (including Nobel winners). Its 1967 end still influences writers; veterans recall its power, while Kehlmann and Biller debate a modern equivalent.
