reception

The award-winning work The Last of Yesterday , published by Picus Verlag in 1996 . Political scientist Michael Hein gave the right and the arts extremely positive reviews. The confrontational charge to the “ Kulturkampf ” from the right had been demonstrated “comprehensively and extremely clearly” by Tieber. In his “differentiated” contribution, the author worked out a “nationalistic, anti-tolerance and regressive” cultural understanding of the spectrum that was anything but “anti-art”.
