| Abstract: | Richard Wagner was a founding member of the Banat Action Group and immigrated in the 1980s as a result of the increasing pressures he was subject to by the Romanian communist regime. Most of his novels deal with Swabians of Banat, who left Romania before the revolution of 1989.Remaining prisoners of the past, they cannot integrate into the German society and the gap between them and the native population deepens. In his novel Das reiche Mädchen / The Rich Girl, Richard Wagner questions the myth of multiculturality. The protagonists, Dejan Ferari, a gypsy refugee in Germany, and his partner, Sybille Sundermann, are victims of the east-west dichotomy. Bille ends up being murdered by Dejan, whom she degraded to the status of object of her ethnological research. |
