Werk ist Weltform: Rainald Goetz' Buchkomplex »Heute Morgen« (Literatur - Medien - Ästhetik #1)
by Lena HintzeRainald Goetz ist für die Gruppierung von einzelnen Veröffentlichungen zu Werkverbünden und die dazugehörige einheitliche Gestaltung seiner Bücher bekannt. Die Frage, was diese Beobachtung des äußeren Zusammenhangs für die Einzeltexte bedeutet, ist bislang offengeblieben. Lena Hintze faltet am Beispiel des Werkkomplexes »Heute Morgen« den Paratext in das Innere der Texte hinein und schlägt so eine systematisch konzipierte Gesamtdeutung vor, die sich an der Engführung von frühromantischer Poetik mit Strategien der Pop-Ästhetik orientiert. Dabei erschließt sie eine Fülle an Material, das die von Rainald Goetz versuchte Öffnung der Schrift hin zu anderen Medien demonstriert.

We're In Trouble is, for the most part, a book about death - quite often, about how death affects the young ... Sometimes, when you're reading the stories, you forget to breathe, which probably means that you read them with more speed than the writer intended ... They're beautifully written, and they have bottom ... striking and dramatic' Nick Hornby, Believer
