Scope and Contents

The title of this book translated to bedtime.Neue Zurcher Zeitung review: Dangerous is the sedative effect of reading and literature. Who "bedtime" at twilight Friedrich Achleitner takes at hand is to find the confession on the flyleaf might innocently: "I look so much to make of the stories." But be careful. Friedrich Achleitner comes from the legendary "Vienna Group", and the thus united destroyer of decency and literary forms are known to have been found already in the fifties, as wide awake. 79 "bedtime" Friedrich Achleitner has now written. They are all short (some only a few lines long), as is often enough reason incident medium grade: "I decided to use my history with if on wednesday (...) to start, but discovered with dismay that I decided to I had begun, "it says under the heading" if on wednesday. " In the "hall history" a loud coughing old lady rushes "with its popping doppler» by Brunico and Innsbruck. Whether in Innsbruck or Zurich or Bern Possnitz - one in this world is a tourist. The narration of these interested apathy Friedrich Achleitner has chosen for many of his lyrics. It is the exalted position absurd comedy, with the out of the Romantik Hotel Stern in Chur, the cafe Luneburg in Kiel Dane Street, the house in Badgastein Hirth (Thomas Mann was already there) or the Art'otel Dresden is reported. Moments of happiness during urination and curiosities at the breakfast buffet (a high-tech toaster as a veritable "table crematorium") suffices as the material for a narrative ingenuity that has its roots, which lie in the concrete poetry does not deny. «Tales are not there to tell stories" - that sounds like Ernst Jandl law of literary craft, which literature from "things done" is created. Friedrich Achleitner lyrics tell with this significant input from displeasure at the "regular customer", the radical sense of order in Switzerland, the "kaiserschmarrn with staggered shot" and of historical truths. "Sign" means a short text. "As the bulldog of the animal friend 'rich and German Chancellor Prince Otto von bismarck-live the beautiful dachshund of hoteliers straubinger bite to death, saw a lot of bad gastein spa guests is a bad sign for the future German-Austrian relations. However, it was reported at the same time and credible eyewitness of that dachshund full of admiration for the noble German animal had with wollust can chew. well that was a sign. "Friedrich Achleitner," bedtime "arising from its strict form. One can hardly quote from them, you just have to quote entirely. The "recipe" for texts Achleitner says on page 70: it "must have a good boarding. The first sentence is the most important. then it has to go fluently. not falter, do not stop, do not think. the circuit must suddenly, unannounced be there. and when this is all done perfectly (...) begins the work. "The" bedtime "are in complete freedom of incidence strictly composed. They follow a purposeful economy that escapes even that narrative is only a tautology already tautological world. There is not enough poetry in the world, they are there already everywhere. «Poesia paese calls" Friedrich Achleitner the generally accepted literature everywhere hoisting the flag of their bold exuberance. In Bad Gastein, the word "pasture" assembled on a pasture, "spruce - Picea abies' before one (but vice sawed) spruce and of course," station "in front of the station. Signs on the facts of reality is once again accompanied by appropriate instructions feeling. "Respectful, here begins the romance!", Stands at the edge of a woodland path in Bad Gastein, then later "respectfully, here begins the wild romance!". «Badgastein is a poetic place," one reads in a "bedtime". The "realienprosa", the "semantic realism" - everywhere this concrete poetry is already there, and Friedrich Achleitner tells us about this "true relationships" on. Members of the famous Viennese group went their separate ways after its dissolution. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
