The first literary attempts of our generation after 1945 have been described as rubble

literature. We did not object to this designation because it was right: indeed, the people of
whom we wrote lived in ruins, they came out of the war, men and women were equally
injured, even children. And they sharp-eyed: they saw. They were by no means in complete
peace, their environment, their condition, nothing in them and around them was idyllic, and
we as writers felt so close to us that we identified with them. With black-horses and the
victims of the black merchants, with refugees, and all those who had become otherwise
homeless, especially, of course, with the generation to which we belonged, and which was to
a great extent in a memorable and memorable situation home. It was the return from a war,
at the end of which hardly anyone could have believed.
So we wrote of the war, of homecoming, and of what we had seen in the war, and when he
came home: from rubble, that resulted in three key words which he was attached to young
literature: war, homecoming, and rubble literature.
The names as such are justified: it had been war for six years, we returned home from this
war, we found rubble and wrote about it. Strange, almost suspicious, was only the
reproachful, almost offended tone with which this designation was used: we did not seem to
blame ourselves for wars that everything was in ruins, but we were apparently at odds with it
Had seen and seen, but we had no bandage in front of our eyes and saw it: a good eye
belonged to the hand tool and the writer.
To kidnap our contemporaries would seem too cruel to us, the awakening of it would be
terrible, or should we really play blindfolds with each other?

Dickens diz: A good eye belongs to the author's craft, an eye well enough to let him see
things that are not yet visible in his visual field.
His pictures were lopsided, his style was unbearable - he had not seen the world with the
eye of a man, but in the distortion that his inner being had formed.
