Walter Kempowski´s 'Das Echolot' - Sifting und Exposing the Evidence via Montage

The book offers a nuanced analysis of Kempowski's work, promising to become a standard reference for Echolot I. The study will appeal to Kempowski scholars and those who pursue Memory Studies, Film Studies, Contemporary German Literature, the history of World War II, the Holocaust, and Collage and Montage Theory. The author elucidates key concepts, provides informed guidance through Kempowski's many works, and illuminates the organizing principle underlying Echolot's seemingly chaotic content. The use of Kluge's montage theory in comparative analysis of Lanzmann's Shoah and Kempowski's Echolot typifies the daring methodology of the book.
