- Title
Experimental Fiction or Classical Story-Telling? Alexander Kluge's Multi-Media Authorship.
- Authors
Uecker, Matthias
- Abstract
Alexander Kluge has created a huge oeuvre concerned with history and storytelling. His books combine short narrative forms into large constructions inwhich the different parts all complement each other and create a seemingly never-ending series of connections which endeavour to create a portrayal of the world—past, present, and future—both as it is and as humans imagine and wish it to be. Kluge's story-telling challenges the established distinctions betweengenres and media as well as the distinction between fact and fiction. It also challenges established modes of publication and reception. While the organisationof Kluge's books can be described as experimental, they make use of long-established forms of story-telling. This article will investigate the relationship between classical forms and experimental challenges in Kluge's work. (MU)
