Vom Glanz und Vergehen der Gruppe 47 (2008)
• October 14th, 2008 • 0h 45min
Documentary
Overview
Founded in 1947, “Group 47” made half‐yearly authors read publicly and endure brutal critique, launching postwar German literature (including Nobel winners). Its 1967 end still influences writers; veterans recall its power, while Kehlmann and Biller debate a modern equivalent.
