Inhaltsangabe

When The Quest for Christa T. was first published in East Germany ten years ago, there was an immediate storm: bookshops in East Berlin were given instructions to sell it only to well-known customers professionally involved in literary matters; at the annual meeting of East German Writers Conference, Mrs Wolf's new book was condemmed. Yet the novel has nothing eplicity to do with politics.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Christa Wolf was a German literary critic, novelist and essayist. She was one of the best known writers to have emerged from the former East Germany. Der geteilte Himmel was her first full-length novel, published when she was thirty-five years old; it was both a great literary success and a political scandal.Accused of having a 'decadent' attitude with regard to the new socialist Germany and deliberately misrepresenting the workers who are the foundation of this new state, Wolf survived a wave of political and other attacks after its publication. However, she went on to become the best-known East German writer of her generation, a writer who established an international reputation and never stopped working toward improving the socialist reality of the GDR.Christa Wolf passed away in December 2011.
