Ingeborg Bachmann Prize 1983
The 1983 Ingeborg Bachmann Prize was the seventh competition for the literary prize. The reading marathon took place for the first time as an independent event in the Klagenfurt ORF theater of the Carinthia regional studio .
For the first time, the award dedicated to the memory of the ORF director, founder of the competition and long-time juror Ernst Willner , who died shortly before, was awarded among the authors. The writer Rainald Goetz caused a sensation with a spectacular appearance in which he injured his forehead with a razor blade and read his text with a bloodied face; however, he did not receive an award.
