Summary:Franz Xaver Kroetz's occupations ranged from banana-cutter to hospital orderly, fledgling actor and, more significantly, Germany's most popular and contemporary dramatist of the seventies and early eighties. This invaluable study, which situates Kroetz's aesthetics in a political context, focuses on four plays that mark crisis points in his development of a political aesthetic. The breaks in otherwise very successful aesthetic models occur as Kroetz responds to changing social conditions.
