Paul Buchholzs’s research focuses on German-language prose of the twentieth and twenty-first century, with a special emphasis on Austrian experimental fiction. He is the author of Private Anarchy: Impossible Community and the Outsider’s Monologue in German Experimental Fiction (Northwestern University Press, 2018). He is currently working on a book project, tentatively titled Communities of Desolation, which explores how threats of environmental degradation and destruction inspired new images of transnational human collectivity in German-language literature after 1968.
