While taking delight in piercing the pretensions of German materialism, Günter Grass (The Tin Drum), Heinrich Böll (The Clown) and Uwe Johnson (Speculations About Jakob) have dealt perhaps more effectively than any other writers with the peculiar poignancy of the human condition in the postwar world. Karlheinz Stockhausen and Hans Werner Henze have emerged as composers of worldwide status, and a younger group of West Berliners is experimenting with "post-pop realism."
