This study evaluates the reception of Martin Walser's novels by critics and reviewers between 1957 and 1978 in West Germany, East Germany, Britain and the USA. It demonstrates the connection between the aesthetic responses and the political positions of the critics. The novel Jenseits der Liebe is identified as both a turning point in Walser's development and as a case of inconsistent reception by critics. Walser's treatment of the political psychology of the salaried employee with its deep loyalty conflicts disturbed the critics more profoundly than the identity problems of his earlier and later heroes.

"Netzstadt stands for a model. It facilitates the differentiated portrayal of an urban development which has characterized cities and landscapes since the middle of the twentieth century. The model's foundation is the elucidation of criteria of durability and urbanity. Netzstadt stands for a transdisciplinary method by means of which urbanity can be analyzed and evaluated morphologically and physiologically, and redesigned in a process of modernization. Modernization means initiating an intelligent process in a democratic society in order to adapt the 'urban cultural landscape' to the needs of the future. Netzstadt is the title of a text book on designing cities. It addresses students and practitioners in the fields of city planning and city construction, in architecture, engineering and the natural sciences and the social sciences and economics"--Back cover.
