A fascinating article from SeanWhiteside.
For New Books in German, Shaun Whiteside looks at how the idea of the German Democratic Republic continues to inspire writers and readers. "It’s thirty-five years since the Berlin Wall came down, long enough for some of the clichés of East Germany to be dispelled or overcome – there’s more to the GDR than dour border-guards, comical pedestrian-crossing figures, phone-tapping and terrible coffee. The idea of the German Democratic Republic continues to inspire writers and readers, and many of the books published recently on the subject have attracted the attention of prize juries." #BerlinWall #EastGermany #GDR #GermanDemocraticRepublic #KatjaHoyer #BeyondTheWall #MarzahnMonAmour #DublinLiteraryAward #JennyErpenbeck #Kairos #InternationalManBooker #ClemensMeyer #WhileWeWereDreaming #BrigitteReimann #Siblings #LutzSeiler #Kruso #Star111 #MatthiasJügler #MayflySeason #PeterWensierski #JenaParadies #HelgaSchubert #VomAufstehen #JudithKuckart #CafeDerUnsichtbaren #CharlotteGneuss #Gittersee #Literature #EastGermanHistory #DieWende #LiteraryTranslation #HistoricalFiction #ContemporaryGermanLiterature #PrizeWinningBooks #BookRecommendations #GermanReunification #TranslatingGermanLiterature #ReunificationNarratives #GDRLiteratureInTranslation https://lnkd.in/ex5Bs5kF

English literature, a rich and diverse treasure trove, spans centuries, genres, and styles. From the epic poem Beowulf to the modern-day bestsellers, it has evolved, reflecting the culture, history, and values of the English-speaking world. The Renaissance brought forth iconic playwrights like Shakespeare and Marlowe, while the Romantic era saw the emergence of poetic geniuses like Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats. The Victorian era was marked by the novels of Dickens and the Brontë sisters, while the modern era introduced innovative writers like James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and T.S. Eliot. English literature continues to thrive, exploring new themes, styles, and voices, remaining a vital part of human experience and cultural heritage.

Graham K. Riach is a remarkably perceptive reader of South African short fiction. I learned a great deal from his excellent monograph, "The Short Story after Apartheid: Thinking with Form in South African Literature." If you're interested in the writing of Nadine Gordimer, Ivan Vladislavić, Zoë Wicomb, Phaswane Mpe, or Henrietta Rose-Innes, or more broadly in the relationship between literary form and social meaning in South Africa, you should have a look at it. Here's my review for Safundi:

Thanks to hard work from the Slavic Literatures editors, our journal team just published the first volume under a new name. Beneath this post, I share links to, first, the volume and, second, the text of ‘Slavic Literatures, A First.’ In this short editorial, I introduce the volume and some context on the name change — which has nothing to do with boycotts but everything with attention for academic imbalances and a need to expand professional gazes. With the same urge to shift balances and broaden scopes we expanded our editorial and advisory boards with experts in Bosnian, Belarusian, Croatian, Czech, Polish, Serbian, Slovak, and Ukrainian literary studies. We thank all contributors to this archival-treasure-rich volume. It familiarizes readers with (annotated) translations of Ukrainian, Slovak, Serbian, Russian, and Czech literary texts from different historical eras. The first days, the full volume is available in open access; the editorial will remain open access.

‘Democratising’ the 'Assassination' of Literary Art and Appreciation: Why Paid Online Polling on Social Media to Determine Contest Winners Needs to be Stopped (Part 6) 2. All that glitters is accolades. This second point naturally flows from the first. There is an age-old presumption that grew with the evolution of modern society that anybody that won an award that was contested by so many not only deserved to win it but was also a master in the craft above all others that contested. That they have mastered the craft more than others at least for the time being. That’s the whole idea behind a ‘world cup’. If you could beat some teams but in the grand finale I could beat you, then I can beat everyone you can beat and I’m actually the best in the world. Logical, but not entirely true. But it’s acceptable considering the conditions of the world we find ourselves in. Society only progresses through excellence. Excellence is a virtue that must be extolled in any society. Excellence implies that a thing is ‘extremely good or of very high quality.’ But this begs the question: what is good? And what does high quality mean? The best way to understand these terms is to refer to what I mentioned above about science and art. Good refers to high standards, being able to do something well. It implies that there is a yardstick. That a person has done something well implies they have done that thing at least in accordance with the minimal standards established before their attempt or that they have surpassed that standard. Where standards are eroded in society, or where judgment is to be made by those that do not know what the standards ought to be, they resort to merely looking at accolades alone and accolades become the standard. But the mere fact that a person has won an accolade does not justify the possession of the accolade. Picture credit: GQ #poetry #usainbolt #creativeeconomy #literaryappreciation
