His ambitious new book on mood, philosophy of history, and contemporary analysis is an interesting and peculiar example of what the humanities can also create.--Frederik Stjernfelt "<i>Weekendavisen</i>"<br><br>Quirky, superbly composed, and nuanced. . . . A totally original meditation on how our sense of time has changed over the last two-thirds of a century.--Harold Bloom "Yale University"<br><br>This book is willfully 'disheveled, ' for lack of a better word. That is, it insists on and performs--successfully, I believe--a purposeful entanglement between autobiography and literature.--Françoise Meltzer "<i>Critical Inquiry</i>"<br><br>This is a fascinating and important book--important because of the way it connects a certain postwar mood with literary and personal examples. I am familiar with a good deal of Gumbrecht's previous work, and as far as I know, this is the first time he has directly addressed the situation of Germany after the Second World War in such a way. The courage, and intellectual honesty, it has taken to write <i>After 1945</i> are impressive indeed.--Françoise Meltzer "University of Chicago"<br><br>This is no ordinary book. . . . Recommended. All levels of students through faculty--R. C. Conard "<i>Choice</i>"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht is Albert Guérard Professor in Literature at Stanford University.
