Item description from seller

256 pages. Two novels by the important contemporary German writer Gerhard Kopf. This bo ok comprises two novels by the celebrated twentieth-century German author Gerhar d Kopf: his first novel, Innerfar, and Bluff, or the Southern Cross. The first o f these celebrates in fictional form the life anddestiny of the hostess of the f irst meeting of the German literary Group 47, now fifty years old, which set an enduring stamp on the development of post-War German literature. Containing many of the themes to be developed in Kopf's later fiction, the book is a search for identity through memory and storytelling. Bluff is a simple story of the search for liberation and the unshackling of the imagination, of dreaming of far-away places, and the friendship between two boys, one from the East and the other fro m West Germany. GERHARD KOPF was born in 1948 in Pfronten/Algau, southern Bavari a; he is the author of numerous essays, stories, and plays for the stage and rad io, as well as a number of novels. LESLIE WILLSON is a member of the New York P. E.N. Center and the Mainz Academy of the Sciences and of Literature. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly In these two short novels, the Bavarian-born Kop f plunges into a thick exploration of insanity and the imagination in order to t ackle concerns--German-ness, freedom, revelation through fantasy--that he shares with other postwar German novelists. Innerfar is set in the imaginary region of Thulsern (the setting of There is No Borges and Papa's Suitcase, both of which have been translated into English) and pays homage to Gruppe 47, the literary gr oup that greatly influenced postwar German writing. Free-spirited Karlina is mod eled on the Gruppe's originating hostess and is introduced as she enters an asyl.
