Biller watscht je drei Autorinnen (Wahl, Zeh, Aydemir) und Autoren (Strunk, Kehlmann, Biedermann) ab. Gelobt werden nur Männer: Walser, Weiss, Koeppen, Melville, Kafka, Morgenstern. Anders als Scheck, der Titel einzeln bewertet, will er getrennte Bestsellerlisten für Schund und Literatur.

er kritisiert drei männer (strunk, kehlmann, biedermann) und zwei frauen (wahl, zeh). maxim biller ist unsympatisch und arrogant, ein macho und schlechter autor, aber natürlich schreiben die von ihm geannten die billigste trivialliteratur und der hype um sie ist einfach unerträglich und unverdient

Die Beliebtheit und die Verkaufszahlen von Büchern sind freilich kein Gradmesser für Literatur. Der Artikel thematisiert keineswegs nur Autorinnen ("Ist Wahl allein das Problem? Natürlich nicht."). In dieser Reihenfolge: Simmel, Wahl, Strunk, Kehlmann, Zeh, Aydemir.

Ich hab ehrlich gesagt fast nix von den Autor:innen gelesen, gegen die Hr B hier wettert.Aber wer Heinz Strunk nach "Der goldene Handschuh" noch als "provinzielle Prollprosa"-kritzelnden Schmierfink abwertet, der disqualifiziert sich mE nach automatisch selbst als Beurteiler literarischer Qualität.

Last paragraphs from Strunk & White.
Style takes its final shape more from attitudes of mind than from principles of composition, for, as an elderly prac-titioner once remarked, "Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar." This moral observation would have no place in a rule book were it not that style is the writer, and there-fore what you are, rather than what you know, will at last determine your style. If you write, you must believe in the truth and worth of the scrawl, in the ability of the reader to receive and decode the message. No one can write decent-ly who is distrustful of the reader's intelligence, or whose attitude is patronizing. Many references have been made in this book to "the reader," who has been much in the news. It is now neces-sary to warn you that your concern for the reader must be pure: you must sympathize with the reader's plight (most readers are in trouble about half the time) but never seek to know the reader's wants. Your whole duty as a writer is to please and satisfy yourself, and the true writer always plays to an audience of one. Start sniffing the air, or glancing at the Trend Machine, and you are as good as dead, although you may make a nice living. Full of belief, sustained and elevated by the power of purpose, armed with the rules of grammar, you are ready for exposure. At this point, you may well pattern yourself on the fully exposed cow of Robert Louis Stevenson's rhyme. This friendly and commendable animal, you may recall, was "blown by all the winds that pass /And wet with all the showers." And so must you as a young writer be. In our modern idiom, we would say that you must get wet all over. Mr. Stevenson, working in a plainer style, said it with felicity, and suddenly one cow, out of so many, received the gift of immortality. Like the steadfast writer, she is at home in the wind and the rain; and, thanks to one moment of felicity, she will live on and on and on.

LAUGH-IN cast member Jud Strunk was 45 when he died OTD in 1981. The singer/comedian was taking off from a Maine airfield when he suffered a heart attack; the crash also killed his passenger. He had a Top 20 hit with "Daisy a Day" in 1973, and the Democrat once lost a Maine Senate race by one vote.
