What is Productive failure : sincerity and irony in contemporary North American literature about?
Can literature transcend the limits of language? At the turn of the millennium, several American and Canadian authors grappled with this question in their works. They formed a literary movement: the New Sincerity. Felix Haase studies how the New Sincerity negotiates sincerity and irony. He traces the origin of its ideas back to the Romantics and Postmodernism. His close readings of works by Ben Lerner, Dave Eggers and Sheila Heti are a fascinating account of contemporary North American literature. Kann Literatur die Grenzen der Sprache überwinden? Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts suchten amerikanische und kanadische Autor:innen neue Antworten auf diese Frage. Sie begründeten eine literarische Bewegung: die neue Aufrichtigkeit. In seinem Buch untersucht Felix Haase die Beziehung zwischen Aufrichtigkeit und Ironie anhand zeitgenössischer nordamerikanischer Literatur. Die Ideen der neuen Aufrichtigkeit werden auf die Zeit der Romantik und des Postmodernismus zurückgeführt.
