The Political Novel in the Age of its Impotence: On Recent German Right‐Wing Fiction
While scholars have increasingly studied the German right's publishing strategies and literary politics, less attention has been paid to the literary texts as such. They are worth examining in detail, I argue here, because they reflect in exaggerated form a problem that troubles political novels more generally: the dwindling role of the novel in the twenty‐first century. Focusing on novels by Hoewer, Zierke, Strauß, and Schwaerzel, the article shows how these texts, by staging scenes where books have immense power, work to create the plausibility of their own efficacy. Such fantasies of literary efficacy, I suggest, are a hallmark of the political novel today across the ideological spectrum.

Styling Your Writing
This text helps developing writers in the academy and beyond think through their writing process and develop strategies for styling their writing to meet the demands of a wide range of goals.
The book imagines writing as an assortment of \"outfits\" - bundles of styles and strategies through which one approaches a writing purpose, such as writing focused on experimentation and growth or writing focused on a professional task. By assessing the outfits writers feel most and least confident in, and examining how to be more at home in the outfits that matter to them, this book helps students develop both specific skills and their overall identity as writers. Readers are guided through before-, during-, and after-writing strategies and techniques, including: freewriting, outlining, visual planning, and composing in multimodal forms. Readers are also introduced to the importance of setting clear writing goals and sharing their work in a variety of ways, both in preparation for classroom success through peer review and writing center visits, and beyond the classroom in virtual and in-person spaces.
This book serves as a core or supplemental text for writing courses at the undergraduate, graduate, or high school level, or as a writing guide for individual readers.

Reading comprehension on word- and sentence-level can be predicted by orthographic knowledge for German children with poor reading proficiency
Previous studies mostly examined the role of orthographic knowledge in basic reading processing (i.e., word-reading), however, regarding higher reading processing (i.e., sentence- and text-comprehension), mixed results were reported. In addition, previous research in transparent languages, such as German, focused mostly on typically skilled readers. The aim of this study was to examine the role of orthographic knowledge in basic reading processing (word-reading) as well as in higher reading processing (sentence- and text-comprehension), in addition to phonological awareness and naming speed in a sample of German elementary school poor readers. For this purpose, data from 103 German third-graders with poor reading proficiency were analyzed via multiple linear regression analysis. Analyses revealed that orthographic knowledge contributes to reading at word- and sentence-level, but not at text-level in German third-graders with poor reading proficiency, over and above phonological awareness and naming speed. These findings support that orthographic knowledge should be considered as a relevant reading related predictor. Therefore, it would be reasonable to include the assessment of orthographic knowledge skills in diagnostic procedures to identify children at risk to develop reading difficulties, besides phonological awareness and naming speed.
