Robert Kleindienst (2008)

Robert Kleindienst (born March 4, 1975 in Salzburg ) is an Austrian writer .

life and work

Robert Kleindienst grew up in Radstadt im Pongau , studied German, political science and education at the University of Salzburg and wrote his thesis on Paul Celan in the context of Roland Barthes ' authoring concept. Kleindienst is a founding member of the literature portal die flut , a member of the Graz Authors ' Assembly , the IG Authors Authors and the Salzburg Authors' Group .

In 2019, he devoted himself to the children's concentration camps of the Croatian-fascist Ustascha in his novel Time of the Moult . In it he tells, based on historical documents, of camps that were set up for children of the murdered or abducted enemies of the regime . The novel thus illuminates a chapter of history that has largely been repressed in Croatia and Austria: the atrocities of the Ustasha, which were committed with the approval of the Catholic Church and with the active participation of priests, especially Franciscan fathers. The events after 1945 that are taken up in the novel are also explosive. On the so-called " rat lines ", war criminals were shipped to South America with the help of high-ranking clerics in order to enable them to start over under false names.

The Salzburg Peace Office chose the novel as Book of the Month for May 2019.
