1. Ferdinand von , Schirach

Regen

Eine ebenso mutige wie sehr persönliche Erzählung, ein literarisches Spiel an der Grenze zwischen Bühnenfigur und Autor. Ferdinand von Schirachs neues Buch »Regen« ist eine Erzählung in Form eines Theatermonologs, den Ferdinand von Schirach ab Herbst 2023 im Rahmen einer großen Premierentournee auf zahlreichen deutschen Bühnen selbst sprechen und aufführen wird: Ein Mann kommt durchnässt aus dem Regen in eine Bar - auf die Bühne - und denkt über Verbrechen und Strafen nach, über das Großartige und das Schreckliche unserer Zeit, über die Würde des Menschen, die Einsamkeit, die Liebe, den Verlust und das Scheitern.

1. Thomas Bernhard

Goethe schterft

De hele kosmos van Bernhard in vier verhalen. Tijdens het leven van Thomas Bernhard kwam de boekpublicatie van deze verhalen niet tot stand: hij was te zeer in beslag genomen door zijn grote roman Uitwissing en door het toneelstuk Heldenplatz en het schandaal dat dit veroorzaakte. In Goethe schterft zijn de vier verhalen voor het eerst samengebracht in één bundel, overeenkomstig de wens van de auteur. De verhalen tonen de afstandelijke meester van tragische momenten en komische situaties die op het hoogtepunt van zijn kunst motieven en structuren van zijn complete werken ontvouwt en ze overdrijft en ironiseert. Van Thomas Bernhard verscheen ook: Op de boomgrens Houthakken De onderspitdelver Uitwissing In voorbereiding de vertaling van Verstörung
