ernst jünger in cyberspace

mailing list archive - martin walser und die faz

hallo,
du hast recht: walser ist weithin überschätzt.
ich kenne ihn persönlich relativ gut und betreibe dennoch keine hagiographie.
aber: ein springender brunnen und der lebenslauf der liebe sowie einige 
essais und aufsätze sind meisterwerke!
und zum thema reich-ranicki über jünger:
"Aber ich erlaube mir in aller Bescheidenheit, doch nicht ohne leise 
Genugtuung darauf aufmerksam zu machen, daß ich einem berühmten, häufig 
bewunderten und gepriesenen deutschen Prosa-Schriftsteller keine einzige 
Kritik gewidmet habe. Ich meine Ernst Jünger. Sein Werk ist mir fremd. Ich 
fühlte mich berufen zu schweigen."
bis dann...
andreas
