Can anybody help me remember the names of thost postwar German authors? The only names I can remember right now are Friedrich Durrenmatt, Heinrich Boll, and Wolfgang Borchert. Borchert is my favorite because he most captures the devastation, both external and internal.
A good reminder of the extent of the Nazi paranoia and depravity is the life and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as Aryan a victim of the Holocaust as you could ever imagine. I'm reading his "Letters From Prison." They are tough to read.
Any help with my informal bibliography? The best list I've found so far is at
Facts about Germany: Literature. I think there should be more out there.
