After the Nazis: The Story of Culture in West Germany
Literature, film, music and art rebuilding after 1945 while carrying compromised figures and unexamined pasts, from Gruppe 47 through the New German Cinema.
West German literature, film, music and art had to reconstitute themselves after 1945 while carrying compromised figures and unexamined pasts, from Gruppe 47 through to the New German Cinema. Kater is thorough, and leaves open the question of whether the written and cinematic work has aged as well as the art and music of the same decades.

Another excellent work. From this book I took away the (unintended?) conclusion that the German written and cinematic contributions have not aged well, due to excessive (but understandable) preoccupations with Naziism and the Second World War.
