»The author’s close-ups and samplings of the imperceptible shifts, transitions, and oscillations of this prose instantiate the form of attention turned to what is on the margins, in the gaps, between the lines; an attention attuned to the quivering, the resonances, and minute shadings between words and turns of phrases, continually dissolving and recasting the space of the imaginary.« Robert Buch, German Studies Review 34/3
Jörg Kreienbrock studied German Literature, Comparative Literature and Philosophy at the University of Bielefeld and the Freie Universität Berlin. He received his Ph.D. in 2005 from the Department of German at New York University with a dissertation thesis examining representations of the small and minute in the prose works of Robert Walser. His research and teaching interests include German literature from the 18th to the 21st century with an emphasis on literary theory, contemporary literature, and popular culture.
