 new books in german: Editorial
Uwe Johnson was by over twenty years his junior, and, despite the relative success of Mutmassungen über Jakob (1959) and Das dritte Buch über Achim (1961), which brought Johnson a cult following, he was finding it difficult to adjust to life in West Germany.
Invited by Marianne to offer a fellow-writer's judgement, Uwe Johnson produced in January 1975 a masterly defence, insisting that the text is a valid exploration of the shifting boundary between reticence and revelation.
Johnson embarked on the task with his usual punctiliousness, and was disappointed when his selection proved too long for the projected volume and when Frisch agreed to cuts in his carefully orchestrated composition.

 Anniversaries (Jahrestage) - Uwe Johnson
Johnson anchors the narrative in the present-day, making Gesine a dedicated and somewhat obsessive reader of The New York Times, and so there are many references to the stories of the day, most every day, and often longer excerpts from the newspaper.
Johnson's girl is, at times, arguably too precocious, but even something as difficult as this he handles well, convincingly having Marie express her frustration at the injustice perpetrated on Francine, who has, for example, never been taught how to learn.
Uwe Johnson was born in 1934, and moved from East to West Germany in 1959.

 Berlin: The City as Body The City as Metaphor
Johnson was born into a Mecklenburg family of ancient Swedish descent.
All of Johnson's work was experimental: the narrative abruptly shifts from one consciousness or place to another; words assume different meanings when used by different characters; objects and events are described with intricate exactness, as if to emphasize their constancy against the mutability of emotions and reminiscences.
Johnson lived in New York (1966-68), returned to West Berlin, and moved to England in 1974.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Uwe Johnson
Johnson witnessed and experienced many forms of emigration in his lifetime: he and his family were refugees at the end of World War II; his mother and sister fled East Germany in 1956, three years before he himself emigrated to the West; and toward the end of his life, Johnson seemed to flee from reality.
Johnson was always hesitant to claim himself as Pomeranian, as the press wanted to label him, since, as he noted, he only happened to be born in the town which is no longer part of Pomerania.
Johnson’s ancestors were Swedish farmers; his mother Erna was a farmer’s daughter in Pomerania, and his father Erich a Mecklenburger degree-certified farmer who specialized in animal breeding.

 Trip to Klagenfurt, A, Uwe Johnson
Only days after the burial of Ingeborg Bachmann, writer Uwe Johnson journeyed to her gravesite in the Austrian city of Klagenfurt, where Bachmann had grown up.
Johnson meticulously observes the landscape of the city by layering its cultural, physical, and historical background with Bachmann'' own letters, interviews, and largely autobiographical writings.
The result is a personal consideration of a life and a friendship, which Johnson uses to illuminate his entire generation--one haunted by a history buried in the hope that it will be forgotten.

Even if writing was and act of »recalling« for the writer Uwe Johnson who grew up in Mecklenburg, he did not wish to pin himself down prematurely in his work.
Johnson, who in 1959 undertook a »move« - as he stubbornly called it - and left the GDR, surrounded himself during his lifetime with material from the places of his past.
Johnson wrote about himself: »In the end you can say about me that I was somebody that liked rivers.

Days after Ingeborg Bachmann’s death, Uwe Johnson travels to her gravesite in her hometown of Klagenfurt.
Johnson’s account of his trip explains why Bachmann had to leave and could not return, although suggesting an interpretation Johnson himself resists.
Johnson’s assemblage pieces together a Klagenfurt of the past, the one Bachmann lived in as a teenager during war, the one standing today as a footnote to her judgment.

 Goethe-Institut Was bleibt? - Johnson, Uwe
Although Uwe Johnson immediately made a big impression with this, his first novel (1959), his audacity becomes truly astounding only in retrospect.
Johnson makes his character quite intellectual and not unsympathetic, and the author's attempts at complete neutrality of viewpoint are severely tested here.
Whether it was an accident or not remains very uncertain - but there is no doubt that the authorities, whom Johnson frequently referred to as "Eavesdropping & Interfering Ltd.", were not innocent in the matter.

One of a handful of young German writers (TIME, Jan. 4) who are just now working the literary equivalent of Germany's economic miracle, Johnson, 29, has produced a provocative novel full of cryptic clues and calculated silences, inviting the reader to fill in the blank spaces with his own imagination.
Jakob is hemmed in by the paraphernalia of a semipolice state—threats of jail, surveillance, party slogans.
Uwe Johnson makes the matter of Jakob's life a matter for continuing speculation.

 Understanding Uwe Johnson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
One of the most important postwar German authors, Uwe Johnson is significant not only for his unique literary style and linguistic creativity but also for the thematic issues addressed in his works.
Writing fiction was one of the ways Johnson came to terms with Germany's fascist past, cold war realities, his unwilling emigration from the former German Democratic Republic, and his unfulfilled desires for a democratic form of socialism.
Especially noteworthy is the discussion of Johnson's theoretical ideas on writing novels and the importance of narratives in everyday life.

 Gunter Grass's tribute to Uwe Johnson. International Fiction Review - Find Articles
The friendship between Gunter Grass and Uwe Johnson was a significant factor in their lives and, in regard to Grass, in his work.
The high esteem Grass accorded his fellow novelist and close friend has been aptly demonstrated by Grass's having listed in Too Far Afield (2000), the translation of his earlier novel Ein weites Feld (1995), the date of Johnson's death as a historic event in the year 1984.
It can readily be assumed that Grass prefaced this English version with a list of important political and literary happenings in Germany because he was certain that its readers would...

 Drang nach Osten -- Friday, Jan. 10, 1969 -- Page 1 -- TIME   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
The people's republic of East Germany has already produced one gifted novelist, Uwe Johnson (Speculations About Jakob).
But where Johnson's austere prose was deeply ingrained with the drab, isolated atmosphere of East Germany not long after the war, Fries turns out to be a far more frivolous and cosmopolitan creature.
His first novel is officially set in Leipzig, Fries and his characters, though, seem to belong to the new international Brüderschaft of the educated, disenchanted young, who uneasily share pop culture and rock music with peers from Vladivostok to Valparaíso.
