Sažetak
This paper combines two voices: Ludwig Bauer's reflection on the autobiographical and pseudo-autobiographical elements in his novels and Lidija Dujić's philological interpretation of these elements. The key topics discussed are national and cultural identity, biculturalism and the fate of the German minority in the Slavic context. The paper is particularly focused on the issue of alternative autobiography, as opposed to the true one, and as an expression of belonging. It seeks to provide an encompassing analytic framework which would allow both authors to examine the representation of Germans not only as culprits but also as victims of Nazism and other ideologically monolithic models. Moreover, in line with these timely issues, the paper examines the contribution of the German language and culture to the development of contemporary Croatian culture. Unlike the historical novel as a literary reconstruction of history, the term neo-historical novel aims to stress the literary interpretation of history.
