Kathrin Röggla's prose is one of the most far-reaching attempts to rethink realism in contemporary German-speaking literature. In a qualitative analysis of the stylistic development of Röggla's prose, this study examines her poetics in order to determine the extent to which Röggla's writing can be seen as a "sceno-graphy" of the present.
