Voices for cooperation

»Now he (Jörg Schröder) is standing there in front of the yellow wall of books of his life in his old apartment under the roof in Wilmersdorf in a white shirt with a white beard. Barbara Kalender is standing next to him. The two seem almost to be one, they have been writing, living, and telling stories together for over thirty years. Calendar, funny, quick, with shoulder-length brown hair and hands always on the move, twenty years younger than Schröder, says: ›We're a spherical person‹. "

Volker Weidermann, in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, 2011

»Jörg Schröder and Barbara Kalender did not fall on the mouth at all. Schröder, who wrote an unconventional piece of German literary history with the März-Verlag, likes to tell stories from life, always together with his partner - and that means: both voices merge into one - as otherwise only happens with French philosophers. And this voice blasphemes, argues, indulges in anecdotes, digressions, everyday considerations, excursions to left-wing history, in ridicule and bitterness. "

Thomas Morawitzky, in: Stuttgarter Nachrichten, 2014
