Literature reflects social upheavals and crises – social, political, economic, and aesthetic. In 1989, people were searching for orientation on Berlin's Alexanderplatz; the literary controversy and scandals surrounding Strauss, Grass, Handke, and Walser transformed the public sphere. Award-winning literary scholar Steffen Martus discusses this with Thomas Hummitzsch and Daria Razumovych.
