plant

Holbein is the author of original and weird essays and audio texts, in which he presents the fruits of his erudition to the reader and listener and rearranges them, up to and including the novel Isis, which is composed entirely of literary quotations .

A special feature of his work are literary double portraits, for example in the volume Unequal Twins (2002) or in Ein Chinese in Rom (2013) about Jean Paul and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . The comparisons that Holbein makes between personalities or things that at first glance appear to be very opposite serve to work out a complementary relationship between them or to discover a universal analogy.

Holbein writes regularly for magazines concrete , Frankfurter Rundschau , FAZ , Die Welt and Oya . Holbein has published more than 1200 publications so far .

reception

The literary critic Jörg Drews compared Holbein in 1990 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung with the young Jean Paul , Walter Benjamin and Arno Schmidt and called him "Papadorno". Beatrix Langner compared him to Ovid's Marsyas. Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf said: “No other German writer could match him in terms of linguistic potency and mental flexibility.” Ulrich Stock called him “heaven storm, landslide, text turbo”. Gerd Haffmans called him "the first and only eco-dandy".
