Description: This volume contains eight texts which radically question how culture, myth, art, and human relations create history. The poetically violent language and surreal imagery of the settings -- a faceless American president as a robot, Medea in East Berlin -- evoke the devastated landscape of a haunted nuclear age.
Notes: Translated from German.
