Out now: Draußen in der Wachau 2
“Out and About in Wachau” – this is the location where age-old Austrian clichés of nonchalance and cosiness as well as abysses lurking beneath are embodied as nowhere else. In his new edition of the Wachau anthology, Walter Grond compiles contributions by renowned German-speaking authors who present portraits of the places, routes and themes in Wachau from refreshing and unconventional perspectives. Selected content: Rainer Moritz: Melk; Christoph Simon: Von Oberbergern nach Mautern (From Oberbergern to Mautern); Dana Grigorcea: Tagebuch Europäische Literaturtage 2011 (Diary European Literature Days 2011); Karl Krauss: All right, da schau i ja (All right, I’m looking there!); Bodo Hell: Der Künstler auf dem Land (The Artist in the Countryside).
