Summary/Abstract: The motif of excretions is portrayed as one of the main motifs in the newer German pop literature. Bodies portrayed in relation to excretions can be described as being without boundaries. The concept of blurring the boundaries is based on different, culturally established attributions and contextualizations, which this article both explains and uses as a starting point for analysis. References to faeces are analyzed on the example of two novels: "Feuchtgebiete" (2008) by Charlotte Roche and "Fleckenteufel" (2009) by Heinz Strunk.
