Reiner Kunze is a German writer and GDR dissident. He studied media and journalism at the University of Leipzig. In 1968, he left the GDR state party SED following the communist Warsaw Pact countries invasion of Czechoslovakia in response to the Prague Spring. He had to publish his work under various pseudonyms. In 1976, his most famous book The Lovely Years, which contained critical insights into the life, and the policies behind the Iron Curtain, was published in West Germany to great acclaim.

Brecht- Stil. Von daher schon sympathisch. Am stärksten: Monologe mit der Tochter. Zum Ende hin schwächer. Habe sofort "die alte Zeit" wiedererkannt. Bittersüß das Ganze...

Nur kurz da gewesen, komme wieder (es gefällt).

Vielleicht eine Lüge, vielleicht auch nicht.

Knappe, leise Gedichte, aber trotzdem nicht zu überhören (in "Zimmerlautstärke").
Ich habe vor Jahren "Das Ende der Kunst" gelesen und wollte seitdem immer mehr von Reiner Kunze lesen. Es hat sich gelohnt.

Das Ende der Kunst

„Du darfst nicht“, sagte die Eule zum Auerhahn,
„du darfst nicht die Sonne besingen.
Die Sonne ist nicht wichtig.“

Der Auerhahn nahm
die Sonne aus seinem Gedicht.

„Du bist ein Künstler“,
sagte die Eule zum Auerhahn.

Und es war schön finster.
