Abstract

The German and Spanish language literature of the 21st century has significant traces of the cultural and intellectual diversity provided by migration processes. Since the great migration waves that followed in the 19th and 20th centuries, the literary production of these two countries has become increasingly intercultural. Although migration has taken place differently in each country, it is clear that the arrival of new migrant writers has had a very positive impact on both German and Spanish literature. From this perspective, the aim is to analyse the migration landscape of the two countries and its impact on their literary output. The literary base for this will be the German-language novel Ohrfeige (2016) by Abbas Khider and the Spanish-language works El metro (2007) by Donato N'Dongo and No me cuentes tu vida (2012) by Luis García Montero.
