Christa Wolfs 'Storfall' (1987), Nina Jackles 'Der lange Atem' (2014), Alina Bronskys 'Baba Dunjas letzte Liebe' (2015): Allen drei Texten ist gemein, dass die Autorinnen nicht die Unfalle selbst, sondern deren soziale und kulturelle Auswirkungen auf die Uberlebenden erzahlen. Damit stellen sie eine Besonderheit innerhalb der Literatur uber atomare Unfalle dar, die zumeist eine kritische und selbstreflexive Ebene vermissen lasst. Doch gerade in diesem wesentlichen Aspekt, dem sich diese Arbeit widmet, zeigt sich die Notwendigkeit eines literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Ecocriticism. Gepaart mit dem Konzept des Erhabenen, das auf ganz unterschiedliche Weise vor allem durch Burke, Kant, Adorno und Lyotard gepragt wurde, untersucht die Arbeit, inwiefern Tschernobyl und Fukushima in der deutschen Literatur als okologische Erinnerungsorte verhandelt werden - wie die untersuchten Romane den Diskurs mitgestalten und als lebendige, in die Zukunft weisende Erinnerungstrager fungieren.
Baba Dunja is a Chernobyl returnee. Together with a motley bunch of former neighbours, they set off to create a new life for themselves in the radioactive no-man's land. Geiger counter and irradiated forest fruits be damned, there in that abandoned patch of Earth they have everything they need. Terminally ill Petrov passes the time reading love poems; Marja takes up with 100-year-old Sidorow; Baba Dunja writes letters to her daughter. Rural bliss reigns, until one day a stranger turns up, and the small settlement faces annihilation once again.

Sharp and tender at once, a humourous take on family dysfunction and human weakness seen through a young boy’s eyes. Max lives with his grandparents in a residential home for refugees in Germany. When his grandmother—a terrifying, stubborn matriarch and a former Russian primadonna—moved them from the Motherland, it was in search of a better life. But she is not at all pleased with how things are run in Germany. His grandmother has been telling Max that he is an incompetent, clueless weakling since he was a child. While he may be dolt in his grandmother's eyes, Max is bright enough to notice that his stoic and taciturn grandfather has fallen hopelessly in love with their neighbour, Nina. When a child is born to Nina that is the spitting image of Max’s grandfather, things come to a hilarious if dramatic head. Everybody will have to learn to defend themselves from Max’s all-powerful grandmother.

17-year-old Sascha Naimann lives in Berlin's Russian ghetto with her two younger siblings and, until recently, her mother. She is precocious, independent, street-wise, and, since her stepfather murdered her mother several months ago, an orphan. Unlike most of her companions, she doesn't dream of escaping from the tough housing project where they live. Sascha's dreams are different: she longs to write a novel about her beautiful but na ve mother and kill her stepfather. Sacha's story, candid and self confident, relates her struggle.
