Satire is alive and well in contemporary German-language literary fiction. Writers as varied as Raphaela Edelbauer, Franzobel, Tomer Gardi, Elfriede Jelinek, Reinhard Jirgl, Christian Kracht, and Timur Vermes are among those who employ satiric practices in their work without perhaps being identified explicitly as satirists. From their works, several thematic constellations emerge that appear as common threads: a focus on language itself as a target of satiric practice, fantastically sending readers far and wide in time and space in their world-building, and the recurrent questioning of national and cultural identity. Extrapolating from these topoi, this chapter notes in contemporary satire a persistent, destabilizing challenge to hegemonic discourses from within, particularly in a new, unstable century.
