How are we to think of satire if it has ceased to exist as a
discrete genre[unk] This study proposes a novel solution,
understanding the satiric in the postwar era as a set of writing
practices: figures of inversion, myth-making, and citation. By
showing how writers and theorists alike deploy these devices in new
contexts, this book reexamines the link between German postwar
writing and the history of satire, and between literature and
theory.
