The literary quartet is a literary program of the Second German Television . Originally conceived by Dieter Schwarzenau and Johannes Willms , it was broadcast from March 25, 1988 - initially as part of the cultural magazine Aspects - until December 14, 2001. As part of the program, a quartet of four literary critics discussed current book publications. Regular participants were Marcel Reich-Ranicki , Hellmuth Karasek and Sigrid Löffler and, for shorter periods of time, Jürgen Busche , Klara Obermüller and Iris Radisch . There were a total of 70 guests and 385 book titles were discussed.
Since October 2, 2015, the show has been continued with Volker Weidermann and Christine Westermann (until December 2019) as well as with Maxim Biller (until December 2016) and Thea Dorn (since March 2017) and a changing guest critic. Thea Dorn has been the host of the Literary Quartet since March 2020 and receives three guests at a time.
Original format
The literary quartet initially consisted of Marcel Reich-Ranicki , Hellmuth Karasek , Sigrid Löffler and Jürgen Busche . The latter left the quartet after six episodes and found a replacement in Klara Obermüller , from 1990 the fourth participant switched to every show.
After the broadcast in June 2000, Sigrid Löffler announced that she would be leaving the series after her Reich-Ranicki had accused Haruki Murakami of always complaining about the review of romance novels when reviewing the book Dangerous Beloved by Haruki Murakami . she sees love as something "indecent indecent". Even in the broadcast, Löffler rejected this as a “personal insinuation”, although she had previously accused Reich-Ranicki of having “delighted” in the erotic scenes in the novel. Her successor was the Zeit editor Iris Radisch .
The basic concept of the program including the title melody (finale of Beethoven's Rasumowsky Quartet op. 59 No. 3) came from Reich-Ranicki. He ended the program with the Brecht quote “And so we look concerned / The curtain and all questions open”, a modification of “We are disappointed and look concerned / Close the curtain and all questions open” (from Der gute Man of Sezuan ). The show lived largely from the speeches made by Reich-Ranicki, who also caused laughter in the audience due to his sometimes choleric manner and his often devastating reviews . In a study, Miriam Kuhl determined that Reich-Ranicki had 50% speaking time, Löffler received 30%, Karasek 20% and the respective guest only 10%. After leaving, Sigrid Löffler wrote in her magazine Literaturen : “In the case of Reich-Ranicki, television, as the vanity machine of his existence, was happiness and unhappiness. It popularized and damaged the critic Reich-Ranicki unheard of at the same time. Today he is more prominent than most of the authors and books he speaks about. "
In contrast to conventional literary magazines, instead of the most objective information possible , the literary quartet presented primarily the reading experiences of the critics and this in a strongly apodictic form. The different opinions and a controversial discussion, mostly dominated by Reich-Ranicki, made the show's particular appeal. Reich-Ranicki attached particular importance to clarity and clarity in the criticism: “We will talk about books as we always speak: lovingly and a little mean, kind and perhaps a little malicious, but in any case very clearly and distinctly. Because clarity is the politeness of the critic, the critic. "In doing so, he accepted the simplifications and superficiality of the literary analyzes with approval:" Does the 'Quartet' have proper analyzes of literary works? No never. Is this simplified? Constantly. Is the result superficial? It's actually very superficial. ”The show was awarded the Bavarian Television Prize in 1991 for its innovative concept of communicating literature . Reich-Ranicki received the Bambi Culture Prize for the presentation of the show in 1989 .
According to various sources, the literary quartet was seen by an average of 700,000 to 900,000 viewers. Individual programs reached up to 1.5 million viewers. The presentation of a book on the show often led to a large increase in sales, regardless of whether it was discussed well or badly. A controversial discussion actually turned out to be particularly promotional. The comparison of the initial circulation and copies sold one month after the television broadcast shows a massive increase in sales for Javier Marías ' Mein Herz so Weiß (5,000 to 115,000 copies), Viktor Klemperer's diaries from 1933 to 1945 (10,000 to 96,000 copies) and Louis Begley's Lies in Times of War (8,600 to 44,000 copies).
New edition
Since October 2, 2015, the ZDF has resumed the broadcast. The roundtables are recorded six times a year, shortly before the broadcast, live on tape in the mirror foyer of the Berliner Ensemble and broadcast on Fridays at 11 p.m. The quartet of critics consisted of Volker Weidermann , Christine Westermann (until December 2019) and Thea Dorn (since March 2017) as well as a changing guest critic. Maxim Biller was part of the quartet from 2015 to December 2016 . According to ZDF, the production costs around 80,000 euros. On October 23, 2019, ZDF announced that Volker Weidermann would leave the show at the end of the year after four years. Weidermann wanted to concentrate again on writing, working as a literary critic at Spiegel and as a book author. On October 25, 2019, the broadcaster announced that Christine Westermann would also be leaving the program. The last edition with this line-up was broadcast on December 6, 2019 with guest Matthias Brandt .
Since March 2020 the literary quartet has been moderated by Thea Dorn, who invites three changing guests each time. Instead of the classic “critics' group”, a new “social salon” is to take place every month with three public figures with an affinity for literature.
