Alexander Posch
Alexander Posch (born March 27, 1968 in Hamburg ) is a Hamburg author and literary organizer.
Life
After graduating from high school in 1987 and completing military service, Posch went on several long journeys (to Kyrgyzstan) and studied history at the University of Hamburg. He broke off his studies. Posch has been active as a literary organizer and author in Hamburg since 1996. Alongside and together with Boris Preckwitz , Tina Uebel and Michael Weins, he was one of the first poetry slam organizers in Germany. From 2000 to 2011 he was part of the MACHTclub (together with Sven Amtsberg , Benjamin Maack , Gordon Roesnick, Tina Uebel and Michael Weins), whose literary events include a. in the painter's hall of the Deutsches Schauspielhaus, attracted nationwide attention. He also organized the Schischischo and the Liv Ullmann Show (with Cenk Bekdemir , Mariola Brillowska , Jürgen Noltensmeier, Thorsten Passfeld and Michael Weins). His first book was published in 1999 ("Schlucker 2000"), and his second in 2014 ("They call it doing nothing"). Posch is married and has three children. He lives in Hamburg-Rahlstedt.
plant
In the 1999 volume “Schlucker 2000”, Posch describes 33 heads from literary life in Hamburg at the time in the bizarre way that is typical for him. His novel “They call it idleness”, published in 2014 and immediately attracted attention, depicts suburban family life from the perspective of a writing househusband in a comically desperate way. Posch's nameless narrator tries anew every day to piece together the splinters of the world. The novel addresses the struggle for the identity of an (ex?) Punk in the midst of the demands of everyday life in a family with three children. It was consistently received positively by the critics.
Quote
"I'm a fluffy, association-rich guy, even without a wife and children. I've always been like that. I would certainly have had ADHD as a child - if it had existed back then."
