«Luftkrieg und Literatur» is W. G. Sebald's essay on German literature in the face of the Second World War bombings, published by Fischer in paperback (153 pages, in German).
Based on his Zurich lectures, Sebald argues that postwar German literature was unable to register the horror of the destruction of cities by Allied bombing. He reflects on the cultural amnesia of a generation of writers who prioritized the reconstruction of their own image over bearing witness to suffering, and closes with a response to the debates his thesis generated.
The edition includes an essay on Alfred Andersch and belongs to the Fischer Taschenbuch catalogue.
