This chapter explores the reasons for Atwood’s outstanding success in Germany, placing it in the context of Germany’s fascination with Canadian literature in general and examining aspects of German and Canadian culture that help to explain the phenomenon. It also provides an analysis of two German translations of Atwood’s seminal novel Surfacing as a case in point for cultural processes at work in the translation of Canadian literature into German.
