Literary criticism in Europe

Literary critics from several European countries met last week in Munich to reflect on the future of their profession. As Roman Bucheli reports, the outlook varies greatly from country to country. "There were some embarrassed faces among the West European critics when Jan Icha from the Czech Republic, Jurko Prochasco from Ukraine and Istvan Margocsy from Hungary described with unbeatable sarcasm the work conditions in their home countries. They explained that a brief heyday did prevail after the fall of the Communist empire. The underground Samisdat publications and the return of exiles fostered a sharp critical intelligence. Yet the economic upheavals of the past few years have done away with their journals and magazines. Today, they concluded, literary criticism, where it still exists, has become entirely meaningless."

Roman Bucheli on the German addiction to confession

Roman Bucheli notes that in recent times there is a marked tendency among German intellectuals to confess the omissions or mistakes of their past. Some seem to be "vying with each other to make the most sensational admission. Just under a year ago Günter Grass relieved his conscience with the admission that he had served with the German Waffen SS. Now, almost exactly a year later, the renowned journalist Fritz J. Raddatz cast himself in the role of the self-accuser in the most recent edition of German weekly Die Zeit... Raddatz repeatedly stresses that he wants to write about himself, only himself and not the others, emphasising the point by writing the word 'ICH' (I) in capital letters. But then he goes on to write only about the others [GDR intellectuals] who have remained silent out of fear or owing to bad experiences: Anna Seghers, Helene Weigel, Erich Arendt, Alfred Kantorowicz... And so we see here once again what we thought we witnessed just under a year ago with Grass: the finger, supposedly pointed at one's own person in self-accusation, misses its target by a hair's breadth and instead points to others. So this new urge to confess does have its limits after all."

Günter Grass was in the Waffen-SS

According to Roman Bucheli, Günter Grass has brought about his own downfall with his admission. He accuses Grass of "trying to capitalise on his admission from an aesthetic and ethic point of view by assuming the pose of the self-assured and somewhat vain moralist." Buchelis says he's appalled by the condescending way in which Grass talked about the Konrad Adenauer era – and jewish poet Paul Celan – in the interview with the German daily, the Frankfurter Allgemeiner Zeitung. "Grass lived in Paris for four years in the late 1950s and was a friend of Paul Celan at the time. Now Grass says of his friend: 'Most of the time he was submerged in his work and a prisoner of all his real and exaggerated fears.' It doesn't seem to have occurred to Grass that Celan's 'exaggerated fears' could have been the product of precisely the kind of haunting silence to which Grass has now admitted. There's no telling what would have happened if Celan had learned that his friend was a member of the Waffen-SS."
