May 2013Argumente eines Winterspaziergängers
Und ein Fragment zu »Frost«: Leichtlebig. Mit dem Faksimile des Leichtlebig-Typoskripts
by Thomas Bernhard
Im Mai 1963 erschien in einer Auflage von 2000 Exemplaren Thomas Bernhards Roman »Frost« im Insel Verlag. Gleich nach Erscheinen erregte der Roman größte Aufmerksamkeit: Noch nie hatten die Rezensenten und Leser derartig aufwühlende Sätze über einen froststarren, finsteren Ort namens Weng im höchsten Österreich gelesen. Der Maler Strauch beschimpfte an dieser Stelle Gott und die Welt, erkannte um sich herum nur Kranke, Kretins und Todgeweihte. (Für den Roman erhielt Bernhard nicht nur den Bremer Literaturpreis, sondern auch den Österreichischen Staatspreis für Literatur, was die Gemeinde Weng zu heftigen Protesten beim Bundesminister wegen Verleumdung einer ganzen Gemeinde veranlasste.) Um das Irritationspotenzial dieses Romans einzugrenzen, verlegten die Interpreten sich schon bald darauf, die sinnlosen, widersinnigen Wortkaskaden des Malers als prototypisch für einen pathologischen Charakter anzusehen, der seinerseits prototypisch den Zerfall unserer Gegenwart vorlebt. Aus den vielen Vorstufen zu »Frost« präsentiert dieser Band aus Anlass des 50-jährigen Erscheinens eine frühe Fassung, in der ein Eisenbahner mit dem Namen Leichtlebig bei einer Kur in Schwarzach (bei Goldegg-St.Veit) einem Lehrer begegnet und mit ihm ausgedehnte Spaziergänge unternimmt. Die zweite der für diesen Band ausgewählten Vorstufen datiert aus der Zeit unmittelbar vor der Fertigstellung des Romans: Die »Argumente eines Winterspaziergängers« gab Thomas Bernhard seinem Freund Gerhard Fritsch, damit dieser sie in der von ihm herausgegebenen Zeitschrift »Wort in der Zeit« publizierte: Bernhard hat für diese Vorabveröffentlichung des Romans signifikante Passagen aus diesem zusammengestellt und sie zu einem 19-seitigen Manuskript zusammengefügt – eine Veröffentlichung kam allerdings nicht zustande.

One Story a Week
by Chen Jiafei
Once upon a time there was an old man who lived near a fort in the north and owned a horse. One day the horse ran away to a northern barbarian nation. His neighbors pitied him. But the old man told them to wait and see id this misfortune could not lead to something good. And, indeed, one day the horse returned accompanied by a beautiful Mongol horse. The neighbors congratulated him.” Don’t be rash," said the old man,” this may yet bring misfortune." Sure enough, shortly afterwards his son was thrown off the new horse and became a cripple. When the neighbors condoled with him, the old man answered:” Who knows if this misfortune will not turn out happily?" Soon the Huns invaded the district, and all its young man were called up. Nine out of ten of these men were killed. The cripple, of course, stayed at home, and so the old man until death had a son to support him.

Analytical chemistryOctober 2014Eliminating Bottlenecks for Efficient Bioanalysis: Practices and Applications in Drug Discovery and Development
by Wilson Z Shou, Naidong Weng
Bioanalysis, commonly defined as the quantitative analysis of drugs, metabolites and biomarkers in biological matrices, is an integral part of various activities within the entire drug discovery and development process. With the well-documented declining return on investment of R&D in the pharmaceutical industry, all areas of discovery and development are increasingly being asked to work individually and collectively to increase efficiency and boost productivity in bringing more innovative medicines to the market with flat, or even decreasing, development costs. The first six chapters of this book describe approaches and technologies to increase the speed and quality of bioanalysis, such as automated method development for sample preparation. Chapters 7–10 deal with some of these regulatory considerations in development bioanalysis. The remaining chapters of this book include a number of current and emerging applications that can have a profound impact on bioanalytical productivity due to their nonroutine nature.
