Christa Wolf’s prose text No Place on Earth describes an imaginary meeting between the poet and dramatist Heinrich von Kleist and the poet Karoline von Günderrode. Although the narrative of No Place on Earth makes references to a specific time and place and to historical figures, it is not a simple example of historical realism but a highly complex fictional integration of biographical and historical material.
