Gert Ledigs gewaltsamer Stil

This work examines Gert Ledig's depiction of the Second World War as a fundamentally traumatic event both on the front lines and in bombed out German cities. It focuses on how Ledig integrates war violence into his novels, and how he communicates this violence to readers. Extending the discussion to similar works and their reception, the author thus illuminates a hitherto neglected field of German post-war literature.
