Review of Peter Weiss: The Aesthetics of Resistance (1975–1981)
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Excerpt: The narrative frame of Peter Weiss’s three-volume novel The Aesthetics of Resistance (Die Ästhetik des Widerstands, 1975–1981) is a description of the international antifascist resistance movement in the years 1937–1945, but it also extends the horizon outside this framework through historical reconstruction, intimation, and tacit inference. The novel is centred around the experiences of the nameless first-person narrator, who functions as a unifying perspective.
