DEPARTMENT OF GERMAN
Emerging German Writers
With the generous support of The
The Workshop
Following the success of the conference on Emerging German Writers in May 2001, some of the proceedings of which appeared in German Life and Letters (55:2, April 2002), the German Department arranged a follow-up workshop in May 2002.
There were no formal papers as such, but rather a roundtable discussion of common research interests.
Writer and critic Thomas Ernst read at the workshop.
