Renate Rasp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Renate Rasp (later name Renate Rasp-Budzinski ; born January 3, 1935 in Berlin ; † July 21, 2015 in Munich ) was a German writer .

Life

Renate Rasp was the daughter of the actor Fritz Rasp . After attending a high school in Berlin and graduating from high school , she completed an acting training from 1954 . She then studied painting for two semesters at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin and ten semesters at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . She worked as a commercial artist and began writing in 1965.

She caused a stir in 1967 at the last meeting of Group 47 with her disrespectful and provocative poems; 1968 at the Frankfurt Book Fair again by giving her reading topless. Her debut novel An Unwanted Son - a "pitch black parable " about "educational torture" - was received positively by the critics. The following publications, however, which often deal with sadistic and masochistic sexuality , found less and less approval. Rasp's last novel, Zigzag, from 1979 was occasionally even viewed as a “literary declaration of bankruptcy”. The author, who meanwhile lived in Newquay in the north of Cornwall , was married to the author Klaus Budzinski and had lived in Graefelfing since 1990 .

Renate Rasp had been a member of the PEN Center Germany since 1971 . In 1968 she received the Hamburg Readers Award .
