Arno Schmidt
“DIE KARTOFFELSORTIERMASCHINE rüttelte im Bogen=Lampen=Licht: Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie! / Umdient von 4 Lemuren in fahler Tracht: die Schatten flohen manchmal entsetzt vor ihren eigenen Herren davon. (Zaunzu hülfesuchend? – Bei uns iss ooch keene.)”
Arno Schmidt, KAFF auch Mare Crisium

Georg Trakl

David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
