Fiction texts

The fictional writings Schlinkert has so far, which have appeared in book form as well as many of those published on the Internet, are characterized by a linguistic intensity corresponding to the respective topic. The language does not subordinate itself to the subject matter to be told, but rather forms a living unit with it, interwoven on many levels. This is already evident in his first publication story banal (1998) and is continued in Stadt, Angst, Schweigen (2015), where the author alternates between an inner monologue and a stream of consciousness, furious and often bitterly funny told of a man who wandered through Berlin through a night of fear in which the unconditional urge of his relentlessly self-tormenting spirit to understand the truth of a whole life is revealed. In his 2016 published Arabesque No man drowned seems tells Schlinkert by an elderly man in the White Lake in Berlin-Weissensee goes swimming and has to survive all sorts of absurd adventures. His 2020 published a narrative essay ne'er / Nothing shows a modern good-not story in which the scamp reflects himself and his forced its role and to him by Joseph von Eichendorff in the novel The life of a ne'er-do completely stores ascribed (roller) naivety without he would lose his worthlessness.

The news from the Prenzlauer Bergen on his literary weblog ! Articles published (since September 2009 as a simple website, since October 2011 also as blog) include both literary texts, such as fragments of novels, as well as glosses, lectures and essays.

Scientific texts

In his study Wanderer in Absurdistan. Novalis , Nietzsche , Beckett , Bernhard and all the rest. Schlinkert examines the appearance of the absurd in prose (2005) on the mental and cultural sensitivities of the modern subject in the form of the poetic ego in narrative literature, the way it does and think and feeling noticeably or imperceptibly crosses the border to the absurd and “madness”, as in Thomas Bernhard's story Gehen or in Samuel Beckett's novel Molloy . In his dissertation The self-illuminating consciousness as a poetic self. From Adam Bernd to Karl Philipp Moritz , from Jean Paul to Sören Kierkegaard (2011), Schlinkert explores the previously neglected question of the manner and socio-cultural context in which narrative literature has been poetic since the middle of the 18th century and thus non-normative ego develops. The poetic ego in narrative literature is characterized, and this also becomes clear in this text, that it is perceived and understood by the reader as an entity on an equal footing with the real ego and thus as a person capable of feeling and developing.
