It took an unusually long time, until the notification date of this year’s Georg Büchner Prize winner was clear; <- - inhaspic true!> usually this is done in May, at the latest in mid-June. The delay indicates that the voting members of the Darmstadt Academy for Language and Literature difficult about it were agree on who soll.Sollte receive this important, endowed with EUR 50 000 literary award in the country this time have been really contentious intensive and tedious it , then one wonders, however, why do it?

The fact that the choice fell on Rainald Goetz, is anything but a surprise – it was about time. For many years was his name before the Büchner price announcements and then, when once again the respective decision was Scrappy. And so the price is primarily understood as a work award, and only after that should come as a literary direction decision on that much good from the, or award winners: In Rainald Goetz you do not know what to first take from the bookcase, so many different things is therein. He wrote novels, short stories and plays, there are web diaries of him, one of which was printed for “novel of the year”, and photography books. But alone with the two blogs, the resulting 1998 “waste for all” and the web diary for the (long set) German branch of “Vanity Fair” magazine, Goetz has a (chart recorder) anticipates future that now and gear there, indeed, is pure presence.

Famous Rainald Goetz was with his Klagenfurt- Performance 1983

However, the 1954 in Munich born and learned medical historian Rainald Goetz since its beginnings as a writer is liable in the early eighties, the word “pop” on. Commonly it is considered a representative of pop literature, and is preparing the long-established literary unease. Much of what has to do with pop, is found here too easily, since a Rainald Goetz (or Thomas Meinecke) is unceremoniously and mistakenly thrown with Joachim Lottmann in a literature pot.

And what it is preparing for problems understanding this kind of literature and its various expressions, just back a bit perplexed and helpless Jury discussion of the text of Ronja von Rönne in Klagenfurt Ingeborg Bachmann Prize proved
. Fittingly, many, even literary affinity people to think of Rainald Goetz as his first appearance at that very Bachmann-reading competition 1983 in Klagenfurt. At that time, Goetz had aufgeritzt during the reading of his word and Lebensraserei “Subito” with a razor blade, the end and continue to read the text bleeding. This caused einerseitsfür an ordinary, continues to this day media bombshell, was on the other hand but also a demonstrative commitment to the connection between literature and body, a balance between text and life.

Two months later appeared with “misleading” Goetz’s debut novel. A pop, psychiatry, artist and somehow also a disintegration novel in which the almost 30-year-old presents his lifelong literary program, its present fixity identifies and writes that nothing is “so fantastic overwhelming as the community, nothing as amazing as the real reality “.



Pop out Punk and Techno Manufacturer: Goetz is just knee-deep in the high culture

In its explanatory memorandum, the jury of the Darmstadt Academy Goetz celebrated as a writer, “with unique intensity to be chroniclers has made the presence and their culture “. These – sometimes angry – intensity makes him actually, an obsession in terms of truthfulness and analytical accuracy, the language is often only means to an end. What sure one of the reasons is that Goetz is many things, but not a gifted novelist. In “astray” Goetz told not only almost documentary, using case studies, from psychiatry, but as he is by the doctor to be a writer; of his life as a culture obsessed, the need everything that happens in the culture take notes, and think for themselves.

Pop, various subcultures, punk, techno later may be indispensable for Goetz. But he is also knee-deep in the high culture. So he says in “deception” of his enthusiasm for the music and literature critic Joachim Kaiser, for instance for its review of Grass’s novel “The Flounder”, he buys the same and devours. Many years later, one can read in 1998, as he is to a certain extent with the writings of Niklas Luhmann on the turntables of DJ’s, to investigate the relationships in the social fabric of the night and the clubs in the story “Rave”; how these organize themselves with every bass, each new beat. Especially “Rave” is perhaps manischste attempt to banish most current presence to transmit the moments of happiness and the grooves in a text to bring the situation in words dance “And the great Bumbum said one one one – and one and one and – one one one – and – horny horny horny .. “

Goetz verhob in the noughties years on a political novel

When Goetz, again more than a decade later, in the book published in 2008 “Loslabern”, ostensibly as clapping and society reporters traveling is – at the Frankfurt Book Fair, on a “FAZ” reception in Berlin, when an artist dinner – even the always takes a higher truth because: at the service “of a maximum ethics of writing. ” And under the proviso to analyze the social behavior of those in power in particular when receiving the “FAZ”: “The Chancellor lectured, gestured, and Nonnenmacher and the others sitting around the Chancellor heads her nodded affirmatively and agreement to, because at such a conversation, of course was not only the exchange of information and arguments, but also to the performance of collective Einverstandenseins all those present with the status quo, especially those in power “

The political power but it was she who Rainald Goetz plunged into a full-blown crisis write. At the federal press conferences he had been sighted beginning of the new millennium, eagerly rubbing Mitsch, to be in the public gallery of the Bundestag a novel about the Berlin political operation. For years, then appeared nothing of him, what began to wear Wolfgang Koeppen like traits. Goetz had, as he confesses in “Loslabern”, “wrong track entirely in falsehood,” not even to “a proper political reportage” passed it. He is said to have considered even a return to the medicine in those years, including attending a crash training course for years fachfremd employed doctors at the Charité.



Goetz published recently the novel “Johann Holtrop”

With the “Vanity Fair” blog it went back up and work downward. “Canyon” is characteristically the cycle, has at the Goetz set thereupon. It consists of different parts: In addition to “action” and “Loslabern” counts to the photo book “Eleventh September 2010″ and 2012 published by “demolition of society” subtitled novel “Johann Holtrop”. Whose main character is the head of a media company and not by chance has much similarity with Thomas Middelhoff. “Johann Holtrop” is an enormously angry Roman. Maybe this eternal wrath, Goetz leave just about the mechanisms of politics, the economy, in his writer’s block again be productive. “Praise is bad”, according to “action”, it lowers “the world of the Promised as well as the Honorable. (…) Agreement weakens criticism incites, energiefiziert the world. “The Büchner Prize is the reward, the Goetz now has to deal. Georg Büchner Prize winner Rainald Goetz, it really sounds a bit strange
