how did I miss this ? ( I remember calling my 84 year old aunt immediately after reading "Bereyter", asking if she could indeed see the Trettach from her classroom . . . )

I actually wrote to Werner Herzog asking why he never mentions him and hoping he would tackle the subject because no German seems interested doing so ... ( he is largely unknown there )

The German literature business silenced him , because he broadsided the literary dignitaries collectively accusing them of treason for not telling the suffering of the German people in WW2 ( to this day even in my family there is a collective amnesia about the personal suffering before 1945 ... in other words "The Endsieg" really happened but against the Germans themselves. There is a lengthy Böll interview documentary here on YT that gives it another angle how Germany was exterminated save the Postcard Vistas ) ... I have my theories about this, but hitting this wall over and over and over again was certainly one of the reasons I left this country 30+ years ago - if not only to get a clearer view from a save distance ( and strangely enough I am part Allgäuer myself and my grandfather was the first mayor of Sonthofen after the war ... and our Allgäuer blood boils up quickly once we grew allergic towards certain " Compatriots"....

@@mamumonkan But any literary podcast that gives insight into an author should be automatically, transparently, marked in the listener's head with the label "spoilers" because the authors and their works are under discussion and everything is open to exploration.

I think demystification goes with the territory when interviewing a biographer.
