Review of Contemporary Fiction — Gert Jonke

The Review of Contemporary Fiction proudly presents the English language-debut of Austrian master Gert Jonke's absurd, revealing, and groundbreaking autobiographical essay/novella Individual and Metamorphosis. It tells the story of Jonke's life as a writer by citing, examining, and even rewriting texts by authors whose work inspired his own: Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Wolfgang Hildesheimer, Ernst Jandl, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Robert Musil, Peter Weiss, and others.
