Abstract

The well-researched and partially illustrated anniversary volume Imgard Keun 1905/2005 offers abundant material that has, up till now, been difficult to approach. The volume is comprised of, among other items, the documentation of the primary reception of the early novels Gilgi, One of Us (Gilgi, eine von uns) and The Artificial Silk Girl (Das kunstseidene Mädchen) in the Weimar Republic and the reception in the newspapers Das Wort and Internationale Literatur of the novels written in exile. Though differing highly from one another, the most recent analyses all point to a shift in the parameters of Keun research: away from biographical interpretation and towards a strong narrative theoretical approach.
