What would you do if your mother became seriously ill and her only hope was the memory of a dream that someone else had dreamed many years ago? Would you resign yourself to the inevitable, or would you try to bring the dream to life? A journey to Vienna, in search of something that cannot exist. "Dazed, I rose, felt my way to the source, wet my eyes with the water and stared down at the night-black puddle. Only when the moon broke through the clouds did the surface of the water become brighter. Suddenly it was almost transparent and I could effortlessly see through it to the bottom of the spring."

Central Station
The texts in this collection of stories deal with people on the edge of society, stranded as human flotsam at the central station, this labyrinthine center of modern societies. Realistic narratives alternate with texts that look at events as if under a magnifying glass, thus providing a new perspective on things.
Literarischer Realismus
Keine Frage – der Realismus ist die dominie¬rende Kraft in der Literatur. Dabei gibt es allerdings eine so große Bandbreite an realistischen Schreibweisen, dass man vielleicht besser von "den" literarischen Realismen als von "dem" literarischen Realismus sprechen sollte. Der vorliegende Band veranschaulicht die Vielfalt realistischer Schreibweisen am Beispiel der deutschsprachigen Nachkriegsliteratur des 20. Jahrhunderts. Dabei wird sowohl auf die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Formen von literarischem Realismus als auch auf die teils gleitenden Übergänge zu nicht-realistischen Schreibweisen eingegangen. Deren wichtigste Erscheinungsformen in dem thematisierten Zeitraum werden in einem abschließenden Kapitel kurz skizziert und von realistischen Schreibweisen abgegrenzt.

As a result, he is allowed to return to earth for a limited period of time to solve the murder he fell victim to.

Literary Corona Diary
Despite all the discussions about the medical, social, political and economic impact of the Corona pandemic, there is often a feeling that something remains unsaid. The reason for this is that the emotional upheaval triggered by the crisis is neglected. The present literary diary takes this into account by illuminating our Corona nightmare from within, as a series of subjective dream images.
