Crises and secondary crises in Austrian Corona novels

Marijana Jeleč Logo ORCID

Abstract

In response to the current pandemic, novels with a pandemic crisis topic are being created in contemporary Austrian literature. The article analyzes how the current pandemic is presented in literary terms and how the resulting crises are dealt with in Marlene Streeruwitz’s novel So ist die Welt geworden, Maria Jelenko’s Quarantäne and Peter Zimmermann’s Corona 2021. Beginn einer neuen Welt in terms of literary aesthetics. Answers are sought to the questions of how restrictions in public life are perceived and to what extent literary depictions of crises can offer potential.
