Alexander Kluge’s revolutionary storytelling pivots on the production of hope under conditions of catastrophe; his experimental miniatures paradoxically engender anti-realist horizons of futurity with lived effect. Innovative readings and theoretical work illuminate the dimensional quality of future time in this radical prose, where off-worldly orientation and unnatural narrative yield new sensory perspectives on futurity and perspective itself.
