Inhaltsangabe

Weiss’s substantial œuvre has become a casualty of the cold war’s end, the collapse of socialism, and the beginning of a new millennium – as one would call it. This strikes us a valid reason to reconsider Peter Weiss – to face the challenge of rethinking the work of a writer and artist who was a committed socialist and utopian thinker at a time when these very categories have been fundamentally called into question.
