Just this fantastic Langweiligkeitsshow that reading competition at the Bachmann Prize in Klagenfurt is again gone to allerlangweiligste to end and we wondered again where all this energy that was once where the is gone, over the years. And yes, that allerlangweiligste Klagenfurt cliché, of course, this: the cut face of the young author Rainald Goetz, then, in 1983, when he “have your könnts my brain” his text “Subito” read and when he was at the place, drove across the forehead with a razor blade and then the blood just flowed so. And he read “Even in my weakest weakness I am strong” and “How does that shit life?” and “How to be written!” and at the end, the jury, to the audience, covered in blood, the manuscript, the shirt, the head: “Los their asses off to Subito!”
And how then Marcel Reich-Ranicki, completely unmoved, dissected the text of the brain tailoring of the author, objectively stated that the protest against the literary life that has been said here, “deep in the literary tradition” was not disputed that the Author of “very good and presented dramatically” and have concluded: “I have seldom heard a text in which would be so much life.”
This was such a great, intense, crazy, fantastic literature moment and still is today. Then “astray”, Goetz ‘novel of psychiatry, then his RAF novel “controlled”, its world Transcripts 1989 the happiness enraptured dance story “Rave”, his music philosophical conversation with DJ Westbam “Mix, Cuts & amp; Scratches” appeared, he decided the nineties with the – later printed -. Internet diary “waste for All”
Gigantic intensity
Last Goetz wrote the cultural industry appropriation report “loslabern” and the economy novel ” Johan Holtrop, “in which he describes the downfall of Middelhoff similar shining light and the mistaken economic cosmos of our present.
Each of his books, even the most vulnerable, are of such a gigantic intensity and power of language and a sense of sound and present poetry and beauty. Nothing is ever thought, read, written afterwards. The final text, which was published by Goetz, is an epilogue that he enter wrote in the memoirs Albert of Schirndings
It states:. “The author embodies a secret promise of a hidden message, one suspects something from a new, different life that goes beyond the now living, is a maybe might open up later at some point, by reading the text, using the example of the author. Happy are those who are responsive to this kind, because they lead a restless, experimental existence. “
There is a joke that the Academy for Language and Literature distinguishes him only now. How many measly winners there were in the past few years! Rainald Goetz is made for the Büchner Prize. He is – like that – doctor and writes – like that – revolutionary prose. And he has the quite obvious self-confidence that you can of course still write Buchner prose, but just transformed, newly transferred to our present.
When Elfriede Jelinek said in her acceptance speech for the Büchner Prize, who was now out of reach, he protested quasi live: “not true but Büchner is glorious, especially when you’re young and extremely accessible once he is brother.. ., close He sends a lot, like other young, especially young writers also broken And you yourself think.. I also, as is the feeling, so I’m doing it too and just as you do it then. ”And the artistic program that Büchner in his story “Lenz” calls, that’s absolutely the literary concept of his late successor: “I demand in all of life, way of life, and then it is good; we have not then ask whether it be nice if it’s ugly, a feeling that was what created possesses life to these two, and was the sole criterion in matters of art. ” He had
Rarely a text belongs in which was so much life, Reich-Ranicki had called the bleeding boy 32 years ago. He could have appeared to call any later Goetz-book. Now it has also noticed the Academy. A late, great news!
