Chronicle of Feelings

Alexander Kluge · 2000 CE · Short Story · German · Contemporary

Two volumes of short narratives that set documentary fragments, interviews and invented scenes side by side, tracing what love, grief and fear do to people inside German history. Kluge reworks material from his earlier books and films into a single mosaic. It is the summa of his method of montage and one of the largest works of postwar German prose.
