Rainer Maria Kiesow. "Ist der Ruf erst angenommen,
lebt sich's völlig unbeklommen: Der Campusroman und was statt dessen lesenswert
ist: Eine kommentierte Bibliographie zur Debatte um die deutsche Universität."
_Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung_ 12 February 2002: 53.
Kiesow (who works for the Max Planck Institute
for Legal History in Frankfurt/Main, Germany) rejects the German campus
novel as not being worthy of the appellation 'literature.' In the final
section of his nearly full-page essay, he recommends--among other foreign-language
works--VN's _Pnin_ as preferable to any of the previously discussed works.
