Erica Pedretti’s novel Engste Heimat offers interesting examples on how Christian Morgenstern’s hu-moristic poems can express the sense of alienation and desperation of the second world’s war generation. The protagonist of Pedretti’s novel, an ironic alter-ego of the author, goes back to her childhood, she travels through Czechoslovakia and recalls Morgenstern’s grotesque poems and calembours: They help her cope with the loss of past and find a way to interpret her own present.
