Baader-Meinhof and the Novel: Narratives of the Nation/fantasies of the Revolution, 1970-2010

The Baader-Meinhof Group and other violent underground organizations have provided material to many novels by leading German and international writers. This book is the first to examine this rich literary corpus, treating it as a political unconscious which expresses submerged anxieties and moral blind-spots in Europe's most powerful country.
