Franzobel (born March 1, 1967 in Vöcklabruck , Upper Austria ; actually Franz Stefan Griebl ) is an Austrian writer.

Life

Franzobel is the son of a chemical worker. He graduated from the technical college for mechanical engineering in Vöcklabruck and studied German and history in Vienna from 1986 to 1994. He also worked as an extra at the Vienna Burgtheater . He completed his studies with a thesis on visual poetry . He has been a freelance writer since 1989. He lives in Vienna , Pichlwang , Buenos Aires and Orth on the Danube .

In a standard interview in 2004, Franzobel stated that there are numerous legends about the origin of his stage name. According to one, the name comes from a football broadcast on television (France versus Belgium), in which he caught the eye of the "FRAN 2: 0 BEL" mark, which he read as "Franzobel". In another 2007 interview with the courier, he stated that the name was a combination of his father's first name, Franz, and his mother's maiden name, Zobl.

Franzobel has a son, born 1998, with the visual artist Carla Degenhardt. In April 2010 he became a father for a second time - his mother is his wife and artistic partner, the actress Maxi Blaha . Maxi Blaha and Franzobel have been living separately since 2018.

Create

In addition to his literary work (he publishes in his own publishing house, in small publishers and within mail art projects) Franzobel worked as a painter ( Concept Art until 1992). He has published numerous plays , prose texts and poetry that stand in the tension between structure and experiment. For example, he worked with automated translation, including in the periodical Rampe . His great novels, on the other hand, are a mixture of fantastic realism, language play and Viennese folk play. Franzobel presents “his world” as bizarre, full of humor and allusions to contemporary history.

His work is influenced by the Dadaists, the Wiener Gruppe and Heimito von Doderer . He once described himself as a literary actionist who primarily pursues the concept of individual anarchism. He also writes for children, e.g. B. the picture book Butterfly Fetterling (2004) and the play Moni and the monster monkey (2006). The latter has been played in the Niedermair cabaret since October 2006 . From 1994 to 1998 he was in charge of the small publishing house Edition ch .

Franzobel is a supporter of the SK Rapid Wien football club . In 2006, a volume of stories entitled Der Schwalbenkönig was published about his passion for football . Franzobel took part in the ORF football show “ Das Match ”, but was selected by the team from the team in the second episode (as the first of three players).

In his 2010 play about Bertha Pappenheim (1859–1936), a patient of Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer, he was interested in “whether the hysteria actually occurred” or whether Pappenheim was only in love with her doctor Josef Breuer as a young woman. Pappenheim is considered to be the very first psychoanalytic patient. The play Die Pappenheimer or the O of Anna O had its world premiere on October 4, 2010 at the Schauspielhaus Wien under the direction of Jan-Christoph Gockel.

Franzobel, who sees himself as a “lateral thinker”, also deals with current questions in science, for example in his book LHC, published in 2011 .

His plays have been shown in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Denmark, France, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Italy, Russia and the USA, among others. Translations are currently available in 23 languages.

His satire crime novel Groschens Grab (2015) was adapted by Susanne Hoffmann for the radio play Groschens Grab - Ein Wiener Herbstkrimi .
