Graz
The publishing house was founded as a project gangan ( gangan [ old high German]: move, develop, change) in Graz in 1984 as an authoring publisher for the up-and-coming experimental young poets of the eighties by Horst Gerald Ganglbauer , a then 25-year-old student the Karl-Franzens-University .
In 1984 THE YEARBOOK was created, a periodical on Styrian cultural events (later: gangan book ) as the first product of the new gangan project , based on the idea, born in the summer of 1983 during a work stay in Finland, to first take stock of the domestic cultural scene. The gangan project supplemented this publication in Graz from 1984 to 1986 with numerous events such as author readings, panel discussions, "grazer straßenliteraturtage", and campaigns such as the "buchdenkmal", a larger than life wooden book in the center of the city with changing poetry displays.
Until 1986 Ganglbauer ran the small publishing house together with his wife at the time, the author Petra Ganglbauer in Graz.
Vienna
In 1986, after the divorce, the publishing house was relocated to Vienna , to the center of the Austrian literary scene, where the Congress of Books quickly developed an intensive collaboration with the IG Authors Authors . By 1994 the publishing house provided established Viennese authors such as Marc Adrian , Reinhold Aumaier and Magdalena Sadlon as well as Graz authors such as Peter Köck , Mike Markart and Peter Pessl with a springboard.
The publishing house belonged to the ARGE private publishers and exhibited at the Frankfurt Book Fair as well as at the alternative mini press fair in Mainz . The publisher's papers are now archived in the Franz Nabl Institute of the University of Graz.
Gerald Ganglbauer's motto: The large publishers produce machine rolls, we small publishers make the pastries.
Sydney
In 1989 the 30-year-old publisher emigrated to Australia and practically took the publishing house with him in his rucksack in order to continue running it for another five years at great expense from Sydney and Vienna under the name gangan books austr (al) ia . In the first ten years, 24 books by contemporary Austrian authors were created, as well as the Australian series ganGAROO and some bibliophile special prints in limited editions.
However, the exploding communication, printing and distribution costs with a delivery to a publisher in Berlin, Vienna and Munich ultimately forced Gerald Ganglbauer to switch to the then growing World Wide Web in 1996 as one of the pioneers .
Chennai
In 2008/2009 the publisher lived with his then partner in Chennai , India, where he wrote his autobiography.
Perth
In 2010 the publisher , who had retired early due to his Parkinson's disease, temporarily moved to Western Australia , finally returned to Austria in 2013 and resumed publishing there with newly designed books such as the new publications Best of Märchen by Heimo Wacha (Austria) and most recently Derelict Huts by Heide E. . Schütz (Canada).
Stattegg origin
In 2014 the last move took place in an acquired house in the country, to Stattegg , municipality of Graz area. The first book, printed and bound, was published there for the anniversary "30 Years of Gangan", I am a journey , the publisher's autobiography. Since then, further works have been published in cooperation with the Parkinson self-help association Parkinsonline in the "Edition PON" and the newly designed literature magazine Gangan Lit-Mag , which was spun off from Gangway Magazin . The publishing house is now run on a voluntary basis and any income goes to the Parkinsonline association.
Publishing program
The program included extensive works such as Marc Adrian's "Wunschpumpe", anthologies such as Josef Haslinger's "ROTWEISSBUCH" and the series of poems , which was supplemented in 1988/89 by the quarterly magazine for ZeitSCHRIFT, gangan viertel .
The Australian series ganGAROO was edited by Rudi Krausmann and Michael Wilding from 1991 to 1994 and published 20 short stories in German translation as well as 80 Australian poets with parallel texts in the German-speaking area.
All new publications have been published online since 1996. In 1996 the literary magazine Gangway was added, which since then has published more than 400 international authors in 50 online editions and specializes in the segment of expatriates and exile authors .
