The new edition of ZDF classic “Literary Quartet” has found in television critics relatively much benevolence.. “The game is quite left the old, and it runs,” judged “Spiegel Online” on Saturday.
“It’s here and there a lot of fun to watch the four judges in their Gehakel (…)”, said the “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”. The “Neue Zürcher Zeitung” found the broadcast on Friday night recording contrast “scary good, relentlessly boring and devastatingly humorless”.
to see After almost 14 year break
The once with Marcel Reich-Ranicki (1920-2013) joined “Literary Quartet” can be seen pause again after nearly 14 years. On Friday off to a late hour (23.00 clock) 1.07 million literary friends (6.8 percent). New hosts is “mirror” -Literaturchef Volker Weidermann. He is supported by television presenter Christine Westermann and the writer Maxim Biller. A fourth participant meets with each of the six issues annually newly added, this time it was writer Juli Zeh.
The assessment of the roles of hosts fell largely unanimous. “The power center of this hustle and bustle is clearly Maxim Biller while Weidermann time being a rather arbitral position holds”, so put it about Arno Frank on “Spiegel Online”. The “Neue Zürcher Zeitung”, it expressed clearly unfriendly: “All they remain pale, they are all eager and polite like Sunday school, even Maxim Biller, otherwise the bouncer on duty, even though he, after all the only one some momentum polished restraint, brings in the tired round. “
” Open discussion about books “
From the perspective of Iris Radisch from” Time “-Feuilleton, in the years 2000 and 2001, even to the hosts the ZDF literary program had heard was the book collection “might not be interesting enough” – “it was not a book, hang out at the audience.” Nevertheless, they showed agreement: “I think that the open discussion of books is the best way of presenting literature on television. That’s why it is very good that it is now representing the Literary Quartet “, she told the editors Network Germany (eg” Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung “).
Even Michael Hanfeld of the” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “wished more clarity. “Whose judgment should we trust a reader, which buy the books and read? These are the “Literary Quartet” yet no reasonable offense, the premiere acts as a zero-sum game. “
According to some critics, the transmission time is too short with just under 45 minutes to be those discussed books justice. This was “really angry,” said Alex Rühle of the “Sueddeutsche Zeitung”. “It looks as if a marathon runner to run 100 meters.” However, Arno Frank praises in “Spiegel Online”: “At the end of 45 minutes at most feel after a too fast verflogenen half hour. Finally would discounts for 45 hours is not enough to discuss a novel “exhaustive” “
