About this book

This is a study of one of the few prose texts by an author much better known for his poetry. It is inspired by Celan's remark that »Gespräch im Gebirg« was written "in memory of an encounter that never happened." Instead of taking the conventional course and treating this remark as a reference to Adorno, the author examines the poetological implications behind it. Though hermetic at first glance, the text yields up a surprising number of its apparent enigmas when subjected to close reading, poetological analysis, intertextual comparison with texts by Adorno, and reference to letters recently published for the first time.

Reviews

"S[iebert]'s insistance on the primacy of the text, and the reading of it [...], provides an eloquent and convincing case against purely autobiographically informed literary investigation. The volume concludes with some provocative suggestions for further research."
In: The year's work in modern language studies 69/2009

"Die Studie wird künftig als Standardwerk zu Celans wichtigstem Erzähltext gelten dürfen."
Wolfgang Emmerich in: Germanistik, Band 48/Heft 3-4 (2007)
