This anthology brings together 21 of the more than 200 articles and essays published between 1977 and 2017 by Professor Peter Freese from the University of Paderborn, one of the most distinguished authorities on American literature and culture within Germany and beyond. Arranged in four broad thematic sections covering the "matters of America", the essays range widely across a vista of subjects, writers, concepts and contexts, from the evolution of the American Dream to the visions of end times as apocalypse or entropic decay, from the corrupt glitter of Hollywood to the ancient mysteries of mythic landscapes, from literary classics to hip hop. He convincingly shows how the study of arts, particularly literature, gives privileged access to the kaleidoscopic diversity of American society, opening up incomparable panoramas and fascinating insights. An indispensible aid to the scholar but also accessible to the general reader, these essays show how the study of America matters.

Is there a non-Western form of tragedy? This volume argues that the Korean concept of han should be considered an Eastern tragic vision which is gaining prominence in the West through the critically acclaimed works of diasporic writers such as Nobel Prize-nominee Richard E. Kim, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, and Chang-rae Lee. Through close readings of the works of leading Korean American authors, the book explicates the philosophical, historical, and postcolonial roots of 'han' and its distinctive aesthetics in contrast to classical Western tragedy. It then examines how specific authors deploy this

Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht erstmals systematisch das Gesamtwerk Roberto Bolaños mit Blick auf die vielfältigen intertextuellen Bezüge des chilenischen Autors. Posthum vor allem wegen seines Romans 2666 von der globalen Literaturkritik zum ersten Klassiker der Weltliteratur des 21. Jahrhunderts stilisiert, fungieren in Bolaños Texten intertextuelle Verweise als ein zentrales Formverfahren, das bislang von der Kritik kaum eingehender untersucht worden ist. Die Werk-Studie situiert Bolaño dabei nicht nur dezidiert innerhalb einer lateinamerikanischen Genealogie eines «wilden Lesens», sondern legt über eine Lektüre, die zugleich philologisch-detailliert und panoramatisch-ideengeschichtlich operiert, die Auseinandersetzungen von Bolaños Texten über die gescheiterten Revolutionen in Lateinamerika oder die Verheerungen des globalen Kapitalismus mit dem literarischen Kanon der (Post-)Moderne frei. Diese umfassen neben der lateinamerikanischen Literatur um Autoren wie Neruda, Borges und Parra insbesondere Bezüge auf die spanische und französische Literatur von Góngora und Pascal über Baudelaire bis zu Perec sowie auf weitere Klassiker der Moderne in Gestalt von Schriftstellern wie Ernst Jünger oder William Carlos Williams. Roberto Bolaño is generally regarded as the first classic of 21st-century world literature. His work pursues a radical intertextual poetics. This book studies the aesthetic and political dimensions of that work and of the numerous references to Latin American, Spanish, French, German, and English-language literature, thereby opening up a new perspective on the complexity of Bolaño's writing.
