Kleinstadtnovelle

In the organizer's words:

by Ronald M. Schernikau
From the age of 14

When Ronald M. Schernikau wrote Kleinstadtnovelle, he was 19 years old. He described the text, which "contains a lot of revenge", as an attempt to "fight back": against the (school) system, hypocritical morals, work ethic, homophobia; against capitalism, neoliberalism and much more. His text is a literary sensation, a, as the book's blurb puts it, "precise and multi-layered analysis of the hopeless situation of young people in a society that is only focused on adaptation and stagnation, not on change and progress." Like Schernikau's entire oeuvre, Kleinstadtnovelle is a radical commitment to freedom. 45 years after the publication of his debut, whose topicality in form and content is astonishing, Schernikau's work is considered world literature.
