Melancholy has become a central theme of German literature since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. This book traces the complex discourse of melancholy in contemporary literature in the work of Monika Maron, Christoph Hein, Arno Geiger and Alois Hotschnig with a focus on themes such as time, transcience, the body, gender and postmemory.
