Abstract
The second novel of Theodora Bauer (b. 1990) demonstrates the importance of historical awareness in contemporary Austrian literature and the significance of the ‘temporal turn’ in literary studies, time studies, and memory studies. Chikago is a Zeitroman in a double sense, referencing historical time and reflecting on time as such. Predicated on Nietzsche’s concept of ‘ewige Wiederkunft’, it turns a story of emigration and re-migration in the 1920s and 30s, the rise of Fascism, and of precarious lives into a parable for our own day.
