Pohl's literary book sudelküche seelenruh (2004) with a theatrical text of the same name for a comedy and two stories surrounding it reminded the reviewer of the Wiener Zeitung of the “artistic some HC Artmann texts - time criticism and the demonstration of timeless shabbiness become artistic and playful and not with the strict index finger demonstrated. "
His novel Die Algerische Verblendung , published in 2007 and set in the Algerian War of Independence in the early 1960s, was mostly panned by the feature pages because of the drastic language of the misanthropic first-person narrator. The novel has "above all the merit of rummaging Camus out of the bookcase and reading it again", was Heike Schneider's conclusion in Deutschlandfunk Kultur . According to a review in Perlentaucher , Jörg Drews defended the novel in the Süddeutsche Zeitung . The angry tirades of the main character should not be confused with the viewpoints of their author. The novel stands in the "tradition of great pessimism", "which has shaped European literature since Swift and Voltaire ".
In 2014 Pohl published a book about Klaus Maria Brandauer . Wolfgang Kralicek wrote in Falter : “Pohl's Brandauer book is an actor's book like no one has ever read. The author spoke to Brandauer and coaxed some nice anecdotes from him [...], but he doesn't let Brandauer play him against the wall, he always retains the authority of the narrator. Brandauer's late roles, especially Lear , make up the main drag of the book. But Pohl repeatedly branches off onto side streets and drives back to the Berlin Schaubühne in the 1970s or to Austrian contemporary history. The book explains the world with Brandauer. "
With the novel Kind aus Blau (2017), Pohl wrote a fictional biography about Miles Davis .
