4. Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb 2018

by Christoph-Maria Liegener (Editor), Roland Ruether (Contributor), Wolfgang Rinn (Contributor)

Diese Anthologie begleitet den vierten Bubenreuther Literaturwettbewerb. Die Begeisterung fürs Schreiben ist offenbar ungebrochen. Auch in diesem wie in den vorigen Jahren kamen überraschend viele Einsendungen zusammen, an die 800. Die Anthologie enthält neben den Siegertexten ausgewählte Proben aus den Einsendungen. Insgesamt wurden 339 Kabinettstückchen zusammengestellt. Ausgewählt wurden sie nach dem Kriterium der Gefälligkeit. So ist diese Anthologie nicht als eine Parade der großen Namen gedacht, sondern ein Stelldichein gelungener Texte.

Reviews

[Chivhonval · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mine is not a review but a search for a woman from my youth that I wronged. I've been searching for her for decades to ask for her forgiveness. I let my naive nature mixed with honesty and alcohol while visiting her in Germany cause her to suffer and have punished myself ever since. I'll continue to do so until I receive her forgiveness. I remember her as a bright soul, one that I damaged. She deserved so much more than my immature self was willing to provide. I regret ever causing her any sadness. Her name was Cornelia (Connie) Berndl. I met her in the states (Florida to be exact). She worked for Semens Energy at the time. My name is Richard Purcell.
Connie, if you ever get this, I know that I don't deserve it but if you ever find it within you to forgive me, please, forgive me. I think about you OFTEN and ask whatever is out there that has the ability to do so to bestow upon you those good things that you deserve. I know that that which you found sacred back then in my hope has given you a fulfilled life. Mine has not been so fulfilling but I suppose that I deserve it. If only for the pain that I caused you. I pray that our Creator blesses you Connie. Sincerely, Rich
