Esther Dischereit is a Berlin-based, Jewish-German author, who has played a prominent literary and cultural role in Germany since the 1980s. Through a series of academic articles in English and German this volume examines Dischereit's explorations of female Jewish-German identity in her numerous novels, poems, plays and essays, as well as how she views her own, sometimes conflicted position as a Jewish-German writer in the post-Holocaust Germany of today. The volume also includes previously unpublished work by Dischereit, and an in-depth interview with the author, held during her period as writer-in-residence at the Centre for Contemporary German Literature, Swansea University in July and September 2003.
