Rainald Goetz gets the Georg Büchner Prize of the Academy for Language and Literature, the highest award of the German-language literature. And that is good news. The writer was born in 1954 for some time been considered the candidate, for a long time, he is himself no longer traded by tradition-obsessed critics as pop writer. A strange term of abuse, with the already many other authors were considered, the more likely in the presence of at home felt than in past eras. The dreary royalists in Berlin’s Adlon nineties as formerly Rolf Dieter Brinkmann.
Goetz and the present day are always received a special bond, now it is even said he was the “chronicler”. And that may be true, if the high office of chronicler means to fight against the transience to preserve the moment in language, with the knowledge that the moment will already be gone as soon as you have recorded it. That sounds but by bombast and pomposity one would never find at Rainald Goetz, irritability yes, but bombast never
Perhaps you say better. Everything is now, and the narrative program of Rainald Goetz is the dilemma hold of simultaneity and volatility. Suddenism, so to speak. “Everything you do, forget it,” Goetz writes in Brain . The only response to the intrusiveness of the world can only exist in the protocol, which must be a record of their own excessive demands at the same time.
Lenz of the city
If Büchner’s Lenz is crazy in the mountains, then Rainald Goetz of Lenz is in the big city, trying not to be mistaken. However here is ever the question of who is mistaken, who is inside and who is outside, who’s occupant and who is not. “This is what the new generation // Madness / The nonsense that absent-mindedness, the drivel / the actual folly / madness or madness // forlornness as individuals “, it is in astray , the first novel, the doctorate in medical 1983 published.
” Simple, true copying of the world ” is it in Subito , the text Rainald Goetz once the Bachmann competition las (razor, etc.) – as seen plugged herein Goetz ‘ideal of literature. And if literature always refers to the poetic appropriation of the world, one can understand the works of Rainald Goetz as attempts they spit out again, it must “be written as the violent thinking man lives”.
The stuttering of brain machines
This does not require the Romantic poet loneliness, but precisely the exposure of the material. In babble, the palaver, the noise and stammering of “brain machines” and the echoes there. Many of Rainald Goetz ‘books are Verschriftlichungen a trembling, nervous ego that needs no peace, because it has the war in itself, terminal moraines of a hyperactive perception. The power of his prose is mainly produced from the immediacy with which reality inflates, in newspaper articles, readings, photographs, notes, television, intellectual discourses, music and the inner experience. I and the world as a material of Pop, the demons, hyperrealism, Hyper Hyper.
