Events

  • The award of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade to the renowned Islamic scholar Bonner orientalist Annemarie Schimmel broke in the literary scene and press unrest because they in out of context critical words for Salman Rushdie supposedly the fatwa could understand and also the writer Taslima Nasrin attacked. With his novel The Satanic Verses he hurt the feelings of believing Muslims in a "very bad way" . In the following months she was violently attacked by her former student Gernot Rotter, among others . A number of authors, celebrities, publishers and booksellers turned to Federal President Roman Herzog in an open letter to prevent the award from being presented. The jury then met again, but awarded the prize, while Annemarie Schimmel apologized for being “absolutely apolitical”.
  • Jimmy Carter opened the Dylan Thomas Center in Swansea in honor of the Welsh writer Dylan Thomas .
  • The publisher Simon & Schuster paid author Richard Paul Evans 4.2 million US dollars for the hardcover rights of his children's book The Christmas after the seemingly self-published book on the bestseller list of the New York Times was.
  • The overall German book market gives the impression that an agreement has not been reached , even after five years : "The situation in the bestseller awards has remained unchanged - as has been the case for a long time in the old federal states - and a reunited German book market with equal integration ( ...) is still a long way off in the bestseller business ”.
  • The Swiss literary scene only began to grow in 1998 with the publication of Binjamin Wilkomirski's Fragments. Experience a scandal from a childhood between 1939 and 1948 in 1995, as the alleged memories of a Holocaust victim at the Majdanek concentration camp turn out to be a forgery. Acclaimed by critics, translated into nine languages ​​and awarded various prizes, such as the National Jewish Book Award , Daniel Ganzfried , historian and himself the son of an Auschwitz survivor, accused Wilkomirski in an article in the World Week of Literary Forgery. Its literature agency Liepman commissioned the historian Stefan Mächler with an expert opinion, which in 2000 was entitled The Wilkomirski case. About the truth of a biography came out. In it, he proved that the forger's real name is Bruno Grosjean and that he may have processed his own traumas as a child in a home and orphan with the work.
  • In Germany, on the other hand, the moods of Günter Grass ' Ein widees Feld heated up . Literary critics in the west as well as in the east of the united republic rubbed against his phrase about the German Democratic Republic , "We lived in a modest dictatorship". Due to the strong public discussion, the work was published for the fifth time after just eight weeks, despite the open pavement by Marcel Reich-Ranicki .
