September 2001Wie ich Schriftsteller wurde
Versuch einer intellektuellen Autobiographie
by Andrzej Stasiuk, Olaf Kühl
Andrzej Stasiuk wäre lieber Rockstar geworden als Schriftsteller. Daß es anders kam, verdanken wir der verwunschenen Trostlosigkeit Warschaus, dem Realismus Godots, der Musik der Sex Pistols und Leuten wie Lou Reed und Jean Genet. Und einer permanenten Rebellion gegen Eltern, Schule, Armee und Gesellschaft. Im Dezember 1980, als das Kriegsrecht in Polen verhängt wurde, kehrte Stasiuk nicht mehr in seine Kaserne zurück und landete im Gefängnis. Nach seiner Entlassung wurde er als Held des Widerstands gefeiert. Doch er war weder Pazifist noch Dissident - er hatte einfach keine Lust mehr.Dieser in einem einzigen, langen Atemzug erzählte Bildungsroman in ironischer Absicht bestätigt, was Stasiuk-Leser längst wissen: daß seine poetische Kraft sich nicht nur einem gefährlichen Leben, sondern auch dem unverwandten Staunen über die Wirklichkeit verdankt.

February 2019Karpatenkarneval
Roman
by Juri Andruchowytsch, Sabine Stöhr
Vier Dichter und ihre bizarre Entourage unterwegs in die Karpaten. In Tschortopil soll das Fest des auferstehenden Geistes steigen, ein Happening, eine Kreuzung aus Woodstock, Orgie und folkloristischem Mummenschanz. Der Rockstar aus Leningrad reist im Zug an, während die »Blüte der Nation«, die jungen Dichter aus der Provinz, von einem Chrysler Imperial aufgesammelt werden, am Steuer ein ukrainischer Emigrant, der eine Privatklinik in Luzern leitet und sich als Sponsor ausgibt … Karpatenkarneval, geschrieben im September/Oktober 1990, ist der legendäre Bilderstürmertext des 30jährigen Lyrikers und Performance-Künstlers Juri Andruchowytsch, der die ukrainische Literatursprache zerstörte, um sie neu zu erfinden. Damals ein Skandal, eine Revolution, ist er heute erstmals auf Deutsch zu bestaunen – als genialer Auftakt zu den berühmten Prosawerken des Autors: Moscoviada (1993; dt. 2006, st 4312), Perversion (1999; dt. 2011, st 4409) und Zwölf Ringe (2003; dt. 2005, st 3840).

This book is about how the craziest dream comes true. It is not that it seemed impossible.

This book is a unique guide to make a dream come true. How to start, what to do when calls and emails remain unanswered, when everyone, from friends to sponsors, are skeptical of your ideas, when plans change upside down in the last 24 hours. What to do when the rockstar has finally arrived, but has a toothache? Ara Tadevosyan describes the background of perhaps the most stellar initiative of newly independent Armenia.
