- Title
ERICH LOESTS EXKURS IN DIE KRIMINALLITERATUR. DER DDR-KRIMI ZWISCHEN KONVENTION UND TRAVESTIE.
- Authors
BRYLLA, WOLFGANG
- Abstract
After leaving a GDR prison, in the 60s, Erich Loest started to write crime stories under the pseudonym Hans Walldorf. His series of only a few novels finishes with the short story collection entitled Oakins macht Karriere. In his stories, presenting the investigations by a London detective Pat Oakins, Loest did a specific kind of travesty of a classic genre convention, going away from a socialistic-didactic character of crime stories in Eastern Germany.
